ATC Language Industry Summit: the M&A trend and other challenges

Over two days, on the banks of the River Thames in London - at the heart of Greenwich Mean Time -, the ATC (Association of Translation Companies) meets to fulfill its purpose once again, to discuss the issues of interest for the present and future of language service companies.

On September 19 and 20, at the historic Royal Naval College, the 2019 edition of the ATC Language Industry Summit will cover a variety of subjects, including the current trend of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within and outside the language and technology services industry.

There will be lots to see and do. The meeting will host 13 speakers who will address a wide range of topics worthy of consideration at other events, such as the use of automation, AI and MT; trends that promote the use of communication overall. In short, topics that shape the present of language service companies with the future of translation in mind.
