Set on the beautiful Clark Kerr campus of the University of California, Berkeley, the 2009 LISA@Berkeley conference will engage a unique blend of academia and industry in a conversation to explore the future of globalization, emphasizing three related areas: language, society, and technology. The program features speakers from organizations such as Apple, Xerox, KPMG, the European Union, the Canadian Government, and leading universities around the world.

LISA@Berkeley received an unprecedented number of presentation submissions and promises to be one of LISA’s best-attended and most thought-provoking conferences. For companies looking to show their support for the development of the industry, sponsoring or exhibiting at LISA@Berkeley provides a way to reach a broad audience of visionaries, industry representatives, students who are entering the industry, and others working for the future of globalization and language services. By sponsoring you will show your commitment to the future of the industry and gain greater exposure among the future leaders in globalization.

All inquiries about sponsorship and exhibition should be directed to Ms. Elina Yutelite at elina@lisa.org.
