Berkeley 2009

3-5 August 2009, University of California, Berkeley, USA

Set on the beautiful Clark Kerr campus of the University of California, Berkeley, LISA @ Berkeley will engage a unique blend of academia and industry in a conversation to explore the future of globalization. This two-day, academic-oriented conference (with an additional day of workshops) focuses on globalization—the business decisions and processes required to do business internationally. With forty speakers, three workshops led by recognized experts in globalization, and a location set on the University of California, Berkeley campus in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Berkeley Globalization Conference (LISA@Berkeley) will bring together members of the academic and business communities in an open and engaging communication about the present and future of globalization, internationalization, localization, and translation. Its unique blend of presenters will ensure an insightful dialogue about the challenges and opportunities we face in globalization.

NOTE: Our thanks go to Lori Allen, Katheryn Katz and Tim Parsons, who volunteered to provide session notes for the Berkeley Globalization Conference. Their notes are designed to be used in conjunction with the presentations, i.e., the volunteers generally recorded only the information not already included in the slides.
