GALA to have major presence at Localization World Berlin

The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), an international nonprofit association that encourages local communication as an indispensable component to a global strategy, will host several sessions for localization business owners, founders and entrepreneurs attending the upcoming Localization World conference in Berlin, Germany. The GALA-hosted sessions will offer valuable information for running a localization business. They include two sessions on the preconference day on June 19, 2007 -- “Mergers and Acquisitions Uncovered: From Seller to Buyer in 12 Months — an Insider’s Guide to M&A,” and “Practical Standards: Shaping Uniform Language Requirements for Business.” Another GALA hosted session entitled “The Joys and Pains of Growing” will take place on June 22, 2007, and will be moderated by GALA board member Matthias Caesar.

GALA, a long-term supporter of Localization World, also will host a group exhibit at the conference. The exhibit will feature seven GALA member companies: ACP Traductera, CET Translations, Clay Tablet Technologies, GAMAX, Human Science Co. Ltd., iDisc Information Technologies, S.L., and ORCO S.A.

Continuing a tradition from past Localization World conferences, GALA also will hold its member meeting during the conference. Representatives from many of GALA’s more than 240 member companies will attend the meeting, which will take place on June 19, 2007. Topics will include an update on current activities, membership and finances as well as interaction and input from members on future activities. The winner of GALA’s annual membership drawing also will be announced.
