Localization World Seattle: October 16-18, 2007

Localization World has scheduled its tenth conference to be held at the site of its first conference, the Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle, Washington, USA.

The preconference and main conference sessions will take place at the beautiful Bell Harbor Conference Center in the center of Seattle.

With a theme of Local Language First! Localization World invites developers, practitioners, and corporate and institutional users to submit papers, perspectives, and topics for discussion at the global conference to be held in 2007 in Seattle. We have posted a list of companies that are coming from all over the world to attend the conference.

As in all Localization World conferences, the program will cover a wide range of issues in the world of translation and localization in addition to the conference theme. With three concurrent tracks, the program is filled with information and discussions with case studies from a wide range of applications.

There are additional gatherings prior to the conference.
