W.L. UK 10th Anniversary Event – Back to the Loc Future
November 8 @ 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
The time has come: we are calling you to join us on our
Chapter’s 10th anniversary celebrations!
Embark on a timeless adventure to discover the past,
present and future of localisation on a special full-day event!
Our time machine is set to depart from University College
London on Friday, 8 November 2024.
The journey will start with a throwback to 2014 when
the UK Chapter was founded, and we’ll travel from the past to the present,
where we’ll spend some time to take stock of the current state of the
localisation industry. And it doesn’t end there: in the second half of the day,
we’ll be ready to be catapulted into the future with insightful
discussions and presentations to unpack the challenges and opportunities that
the future has in store for us!
