It was full house on September 12, 2019, at the W Hotel in the heart of the SoMa district in downtown San Francisco. 120 language industry leaders, including vendors, buyers, investors, and technologists, gathered at the sold-out SlatorCon San Francisco to learn what’s next in this fascinating industry.
The optimism was palpable among participants, as speakers painted a picture of a healthy and growing industry, which has become the target of renewed investor interest over the past couple of years. The program ran the gamut — from language data annotation at scale, enterprise localization, NMT, M&A, corporate development, healthcare interpreting to venture capital and private equity funding, shining a spotlight on just how many different stakeholders contribute to the industry.
SlatorCon’s signature half-day format including Welcome and Networking Reception as well as high-profile speakers attracts an exceptional audience of top decision makers. Nowhere else do so many language industry leaders meet in one place.
The image gallery includes photos from the SlatorCon Welcome Reception hosted by CyraCom on September 11 at a private club on Nob Hill as well as photos from main conference and the Networking Reception hosted by memoQ the following day.
