Tokyo to Host LocWorld – Conference Examines How to Engage Global Customers
Sandpoint, ID (PRWEB) March 29, 2016 -- The organizers of the conference and exhibition, LocWorld, are producing an Asian version of the event in Tokyo, April 13-15. LocWorld30 Tokyo brings together delegates who are engaged in the business of adapting products, services and communications to an international language or culture so as to appear native to that particular region. Speakers at the conference include representatives from Adobe Systems, Google, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, IBM, Lenovo, Microsoft, Netflix, Salesforce and many others. More than 300 delegates representing all manner of industries are expected to attend.
Ulrich Henes, the conference co-organizer and president of The Localization Institute, says, “Tokyo is a cultural and economic center with a unique blend of the ultra modern and traditional. Our attendees are going to enjoy a program that offers multiple opportunities for learning with some excellent networking opportunities.”
According to Donna Parrish, publisher of the magazine MultiLingual and co-organizer of LocWorld, the event is valuable for people responsible for communicating across the boundaries of language and culture. “Our program consists of proven strategies on managing multiple language content, translation tools, quality control, and launching websites and products for multiple languages.”
Rochelle Kopp, founder and managing principal of Japan Intercultural Consulting, an international training and consulting firm focused on Japanese business, will deliver the keynote, “Bridging Cultural Differences with the Hybrid Approach,” during which she’ll share her framework for bridging cultural differences in a way that recognizes the perspectives of both sides.
