The preconference day will include full-day and half-day workshops, as well as round tables on Life Sciences, Game Localization and Localization Sales and Marketing. “Our preconference events have proven so popular,” says Ulrich Henes, the conference co-organizer and president of The Localization Institute, “that we’ve expanded our offerings to include an introduction to content modeling and a session on localization for start-ups. We also have in-depth sessions on more technical aspects.”
