It’s that time of year again and the European edition of the LocWorld conference kicks off this week from 3-5 June at the Maritim Hotel in Berlin, Germany. KantanMT are exhibiting at Stand #17.
For anyone unfamiliar with the conference, it is considered ‘The marketplace of the language industry’ and is hosted by Multilingual magazine and the Localization Institute. Its purpose is to be the place where everyone from the language industry can get together to network, build business relationships and learn from industry peers.
If you haven’t registered already, check out the full program and you will see a great line up of sessions, roundtables and workshops to suit all areas within the localization industry.
The KantanMT team have spent the last couple of weeks preparing for the LocWorld conference and we have some great giveaways planned. As part of the LocWorld Prize draw visitors to the KantanMT Stand at #17 can drop their business cards in the big blue bowl to be in with a chance to win a brand new Kindle Voyage. The Voyage is Amazon’s thinnest Kindle yet and has a high-resolution 300 ppi display and a new adaptive front light.
We only have one Kindle Voyage to give away, but fret not, as there is plenty of KantanMT.com branded merchandise up for grabs, including polo-shirts, 4GB USB flash drives and pens.
