S01E12: The GALA Perspective with Allison Ferch
In this episode of the Translation Company Talk, I had a deep dive into issues surrounding the current challenges and our industry. Allison Ferch, the Executive Director of GALA, shares her insights and valuable information about our industry that they have obtained through industry research. She also covers GALA's 5 year roadmap and how they plan to respond to industry needs.
The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) is a not-for-profit trade association connecting and supporting professionals and organizations in the global language industry. GALA's mission is to help our members succeed and to drive our industry's development by building professional communities, sharing knowledge, and advancing best practices in the globalization sector.
GALA is also hosting their annual international conference titled GALA Connected 2020, a virtual event that runs from 22 to 25 September. Given that this is their first virtual event, attendance is expected to be very high and the content is very relevant to current trends and industry challenges. Allison discusses in detail what the conference aims to address and what attendees can expect to walk away with.
