The purpose of the Meetup is to bring people working with documentation localization together to discuss shared experiences, issues and solutions.
The Meetup will be done in the form of an "unconference" – or participant-driven meeting – where attendees will get a say in the topics that we discuss.

Feel free to bring a topic to the table or just attend as a participant and gain some valuable insights from others within your industry, who will share similar experiences when working in other languages.

Attendees should leave the session with greater insight into how others work through the challenges they are facing, empowering them with actionable insights for their own projects and goals.

Takeaways

Empower each attendee with actionable insights for their individual projects and goals

Prior knowledge
