The Evolution and Future of Localization in Business

Localization is changing fast—AI, automation, and new workflows are reshaping how we work. But what does that really mean for us? How do we make sure localization isn’t just keeping up but leading the way?

Join us for a conversation with Eva Klaudinyova (Middlebury Institute) and Oleksandr Pysaryuk (GitLab), two industry pros who are helping shape the future of localization. We’ll dig into what’s happening now, what’s on the horizon, and how we as localization professionals can stay ahead.
