GALA Conference Committee Chair Marie Flacassier shared: “We know that GALA conferences are about stepping back, taking stock of where we are, and where we need to go. Change is all around us, and this industry is poised to add so much value to the global economy. The key is to keep solutions simple as this complex global digital ecosystem evolves.” The committee welcomes proposals that incorporate the notion of proactive change as it relates to a variety of industry-related subjects.
As co-producers of think!Interpreting, InterpretAmerica will be putting a special spin on the conference theme as it relates to the interpreting market.

The 2015 think! Interpreting sessions are open to all attendees and will explore topics critical to the interpreting sector such as the expansion of service delivery models, the latest in technology for providing interpreting services and the problems and prospects of machine interpretation. think! Interpreting provides a unique forum where key players gather to get a big picture of the interpreting market as well as to foster business and networking opportunities with key language enterprise stakeholders from around the globe.
