The TAUS User Conference is the once-a-year, non-sponsored event focused on translation automation, localization business innovation and industry collaboration. The User Conference is combined with the TDA General Meeting.
Theme: The Profit of Sharing
The TAUS mission is to increase the size and significance of the translation industry to help the world communicate better. The authoritative TAUS Community has learnt that the key word is 'sharing'. From genuinely sharing good practices and use cases TAUS has evolved to an industry platform for sharing of language data. These changes are fundamental. The results are already phenomenal. Boosting translation volumes and productivity help us all to reach new customers in new locales and innovate the business of translation like never before. The future of translation lies in 'sharing'. Join us at the TAUS User Conference 2009 to get the pulse on the future of translation.
