China, Summer 2010

China. Almost one quarter of the world’s population. Economic engine of the world. About 26% of our current business. We’re there this summer.

I’ve been invited to speak at the LISA (Localization Industry Standards Association) conference in Suzhou, June 28 to June 30. I’ll be the lead speaker in the games track, giving an overview on the rise of the industry, effects of translation/localization and what this means for China. Other speakers are Victor Alonso Lion (Pink Noise) and Rolf Klischewski (gameslocalization.com).

I’ll be sure to leave my impressions here.

Note that contact numbers and email while I am in China will be unchanged. How I so love the digital world!
