The first session is a full-day interactive workshop entitled "Bigger, Faster, Better Localization Process from Startup to Enterprise."

The second session is called "Justify Your Existence: Demonstrating the Power and ROI of Localization" and will provide localization managers and language professionals with tools and strategies to assign empirical value and intellectual importance to the work they do. Kania will moderate session speakers from Haufe, Ceridian, HappyOrNot, and Atlassian. This is intended to be an interactive discussion that will connect the audience with the presenters in a lively and engaging forum.

Kania is an 18-year veteran of the localization industry and has held roles in sales, account management, and quality assurance. She is a frequent presenter at industry events that include LocWorld, GALA, and ELIA, and she has published numerous articles on various localization topics. Based in Barcelona, Kania is heavily involved with the local linguist community, having opened the Barcelona chapter of Women in Localization. She currently holds the post of global Sponsorship Director within the organization.

"It's always an honor to take the stage at LocWorld events," said Kania. "Having the opportunity to share my experiences and learn from others in the industry at the same time is one of the highlights of my year."

TransPerfect President and CEO Phil Shawe noted, "Conversations like the ones Maria will lead at LocWorld41 are important in helping to generate the new ideas and strategies that propel our industry forward. We applaud Maria for sharing her experiences and contributing to the dialogue."
