Reaching the Mobile World
From laptops to tablets to phones, the world is increasingly connected, and that connection is mobile. Tablets merge high-quality display capabilities with convenient portability. Paper boarding passes are replaced with displays on cell phones. Communications in emerging markets bypass traditional modes and use MMS to quickly spread the news. Where does localization fit in all this? How does a company enter new markets in new mediums?
For Localization World Paris 2012, we are looking for proposals that address issues in reaching the international mobile market. Whether the topic is business decisions driving a move to mobile, general communication issues, application development, games, content management, brand integrity on mobile devices, we’d like to hear your story.
The theme is not meant to restrict the content of the conference. We encourage presenters to submit proposals that fit with the general taxonomy of the Localization World conferences. 
Localization World offers five distinct tracks and an attractive preconference program:
• Global Business 
• Global Web
• Localization Core Competencies
• Advanced Localization Management
• Inside Track
• In-depth workshops and sessions on the preconference day
KEY DATES
Proposal submission deadline: Noon PST, Monday, 9 January 2012
