SlatorMeet launches in Asia’s business hub Hong Kong. We are delighted to provide this exceptional networking opportunity for our readers in Asia.
The inaugural SlatorMeet will be held at The Hub Hong Kong in Wan Chai.
Agenda
Registration & Networking
2018 is the year that is having a profound impact on the language industry. The real-life impact of machine translation’s quality breakthrough. How M&A is transforming the vendor eco-system.
Translations have always been about finding the sweet spot between quality, time and price. Excellent in-house teams, years of protected content, excellent processes and first-rate input can result in finding an even sweeter result. Scalable neural machine solutions developed in line with client specifications and requirements close the translation gap for global financial and legal firms.
Short Break
25% of the Global 500 will be Chinese within 10 years. Chinese companies are growing by expanding into new markets; primarily Asian markets. This is creating a new demand for translation but one that challenges existing translation supply chains that are built around English as the source language. No language business has yet captured significant market share in Asia. How to win in this market?
Globalization is driving rapid increases in cross-border e-commerce and sales success is greatly influenced by effective cross cultural communication. With the top 10 languages serving half the world’s population, multilingual end-to-end solutions are now needed to be a powerhouse in international business.
