Online Events

Want to be a part of our online events?

For those companies who are international or out of CA who can’t be a part of our conference held in Spring from March 17th to March 20th. The virtual events are another way we can connect you and our Translation and Localization Managment students at Middlebury Institute of International Studies. The virtual events can be held throughout the school year at your best convenience and can be a combination of lectures, presentations, panels, round table discussions about the future of localization, a day in the life of your company, different localization professions, and other topics unique to your company.

Here are potential panel topics/lectures ideas:

  • A company walks us through a new localization technology or explains how they use AI and machine learning in localization projects.
  • A localization engineering team walks us through internationalizing code and ways for engineers to work more effectively with translators.
  • We could talk directly to people working as Head of Localization in the field and several others in their department as they explain their career paths and the tips they have for those of us yet to enter the industry.
  • We could have a panel discussion on the future of 5G and the 4th industrial revolution and how it will affect the future of the localization field.
  • A company could host something more interactive where students can participate in an actual project or see how your processes work.

These events can vary in length and size depending on what the company is able to accommodate and what kind of session it is. The average attendance for events will be around 15-30 people. These ideas and concepts are not set in stone and we have the flexibility to adapt the contents to what each company is able and willing to provide.
