CSOFT’s 9th Annual World Operations Summit

After a few months’ sabbatical, T for Translation is back with some exciting new announcements to share. Over the coming weeks, we’ll reveal what we’ve been working on during our time away, but for now, we’ll leave you with this: the annual CSOFT World Operations Summit is right around the corner! A week of mutual learning, sharing and team building, this perennial tradition gives cause to celebrate the CSOFT family and all that we’ve accomplished together.

Attended by some of the localization industry’s best and brightest, the annual Summit provides an opportunity for members of both the company and the community to gather and discuss localization-related topics in a fun and informative setting. It offers remote members of the company, whether in business development, translation or operations, the chance to reconvene at headquarters and participate in comprehensive trainings, discussions, presentations and team-building activities. Additionally, the Summit is also a time for CSOFT, as a united team, to realign goals, milestones and aspirations.
