EVENT NOTES: LISA, the localization industry's pre-eminent association will be hosting its 51st international conference. The LISA Global Strategy Summit in Boston will provide attendees with the latest perspective on how to implement global business, both at the high level needed for management, and at the practical level needed to make company mandates happen. Attendees will acquire a greater understanding of global requirements, strategies for implementation, and a vision of what the future of global business holds. Globalization in the twenty-first century is no longer just about translation and localization. Effective globalization requires an awareness of technologies and how they are adapted around the world, and the ability to differentiate products from competition that can come from anywhere from Austria to Zimbabwe. Even as new technologies provide emerging opportunities for companies looking to go global, they also disrupt our ability to conduct business in accustomed channels. Technologies such as search and on-line auctions require new directions in globalization efforts. Content Management Systems have yet to be fully integrated into localization processes, and emerging XML-based technologies that promise to dramatically reduce documentation costs will require their own localization processes. On-demand translation will become increasingly important in a world where content can be accessed anywhere by anyone. A 3-day Business Automation, Language Technologies, Tools, and Services Exhibition is a featured part of the Summit. Early Bird Discount Ends April 15th.
