TRAINING, Lake Tahoe, CA: 2001 Localization Project Managers Roundtable

Dates: 4-6 September 2001. Cost: $800 per person, or $700 each for 3
or more registering from the same organization.

The Localization Project Managers Roundtable is a two-day conference
specifically for Localization Project Managers with two or more years of
experience managing localization projects for either localization vendors
or clients. Because most Roundtable attendees have three or more years of
experience in localization project management, presentations and
discussions deal with advanced topics. The format of the Localization
Project Managers Roundtable relies on short presentations, some of them
impromptu, followed by extensive discussions involving as many attendees
as possible. For people looking for basic localization training and
education, we recommend one of our Project Management seminars instead.

For a complete roundtable description, agenda, and registration
information, please visit: <http://www.localizationinstitute.com/>
