L. Gore & Associates Thomas Pixley, Charles Schwab Wei-Tai Kwok, Ion Global Gordon Husbands, Wordbank Technology meets Commerce meets Culture! We are four years down the road from the dot-bomb experience and global eCommerce is recovering. The boom in China has profoundly affected the dynamics of international commerce. Technical requirements are evolving, execution speed is accelerating, and the Internet is moving towards the epicenter of business activity. Today a company without a Web site is often considered a non-player, but maintaining a 24/7 global web presence implies unique challenges and high costs. The public nature of global sites demands high accuracy and their immediacy requires updates at dizzying speeds. Companies are striving to develop good global web sites and eCommerce practices to meet their needs, but without incurring prohibitive costs. Webmasters, localization professionals, and traditional business functionals from diverse industrial backgrounds are experiencing convergence in an eclectic new landscape where up-to-date knowledge is the currency for success. Enter the Managing Global Websites and eCommerce conference. Here, you will find two days of learning, sharing, and networking with people who create and manage global websites and eCommerce in a wide range of industries. The two-day event will be followed by an optional third day of intense, hands-on workshops. This conference brings together global Website managers from a broad spectrum of industries, including IT, Travel, Financial Services, Publishing, and others, for an opportunity to discuss recent developments, strategies, and tools and to exchange information about how to efficiently manage global websites and eCommerce. Subject matter experts from a wide range of backgrounds have helped The Localization Institute to develop a conference that will benefit you - whether your global presence is a web site providing basic product and distribution information in 3-4 languages, or one with comprehensive, in-depth product information, interactive customer service, and ordering and fulfillment, in 20 or more languages. The two-day event will consist of sessions that take place in a variety of formats including panels, discussion groups, and presentations by practitioners. Tool product presentations will be made by actual users, not by glossy sales types for whom everything always works perfectly. There will also be an exhibit area with vendors offering tools and services during the conference. The Localization Institute reserves the right to cancel the conference at anytime without prior notice. Registrants will be notified promptly and their registration fee will be refunded in full. Liability of The Localization Institute is limited to a refund of the registration fee.
