Global Talk

As the ITC SIG manager, I wanted to thank all of the volunteers who helped with the ITC/GALA Pavilion this year.  We had a nice bit of traffic, and we had some lovely comments from folks participating in the sponsor activities and the Passport.  I remember a couple of women in particular said, “We never would have known about localization at all, except we wanted to do the Passport.  Thanks for educating us!”  

The winner of the  Passport activity was Lisa Rowan (name released with permission), and she is very excited!  

Thanks, too, to all who came to the ITC breakfast meeting. There was good energy in the room, and I truly appreciate all of the folks who stepped forward to take on some volunteer work for the ITC SIG.  I feel some good things are coming along this year.

In particular, I want to thank Laura Brandon who was so valiant in helping me put together the Pavilion. She’s with GALA, but she gets an ITC crown from me. As well, Phil Gray was so very helpful to me all during the hours of the Pavilion, willing to take on any ol’ task that came along. It was much appreciated.

Our sponsors were great, and I had a great time connecting with the via the Pavilion and at their booths. We look forward to working with them in the future. This year, we were sponsored by TOIN, LinguaLinx, TransPerfect, CETRA, Localization World, International Communication by Design, MultiLingual , OmniLingua, and SH3 (in no particular order). We truly appreciate their participation in the Pavilion and the Passport activity…and we hope it was a fruitful partnership with them, as well.
