The theme of this sixth Localization World Conference is "Working Together".
Speakers from Oracle, Adobe, Autodesk, Rockwell, Microsoft, AOL, Medtronic,
Hewlett-Packard, Daimler-Chrysler, Sun Microsystems and lots of other
companies will share their perspectives and debate their opinions in panel
and praxis sessions on collaboration and other topics. The conference offers
a great opportunity to stay abreast of the issues and learn about new
products and services. With more than 40 confirmed exhibitors and an
expected participation of more than 500 attendees from 30 countries,
Localization World will again be a good networking event.

Scale is important in the global localization industry. But that does not
mean that you have to be big. In his keynote address to the Localization
World Conference in Barcelona on May 31, Roger Camrass will share his
perspective on the transformation of business which he has labeled as an
atomization process. The localization industry is not an exception to these
fundamental changes in conventional supply chains. Traditional
customer-vendor relationships will make room for a range of specialist
offerings from portfolio and customer managers, web spinners, smart
companies, business platforms, who through technology innovation and
connected communities give a new meaning to consolidation and scalability.
Roger Camrass, Director of the Business Transformation Group at Fujitsu
Corporation and co-author of the book "The Atomic Corporation," puts his
finger on the trends that will undoubtedly affect every buyer's and seller's
business in the localization industry.

On May 30 - the pre-conference day - there is a choice of workshops and
round table meetings, like the TAUS Round Table meetings on translation
workflow and machine translation and the medical roundtable meeting.

If you were thinking about coming to the Localization World Conference in
Barcelona, you should register soon, as there is a chance for the conference
to be sold out. For more information:
