Event Description
The second edition of The Value of Language will be about buying and selling language services: how do you source the best language services and find the most expert language professionals? And most of all: how do you ensure value for money? The event will bring together language service providers, purchasers and consumers to cover all aspects of the trade in language services. The event consists of a conference and a trade fair.
Come to the conference area at The Value of Language to gain first-hand knowledge, insights and knowhow, straight from the experts and experienced purchasers.
Two plenary keynotes, a real masterclass, 16 parallel workshops and presentations, and a panel debate.
We will be announcing everything in detail in the coming days. A sneak preview of the programme:
