Architecting the Global AI Ecosystem

In Vancouver, we address the reality of this transition: a world where language is no longer a final "workflow step," but a core capability embedded into every product, platform and user experience. We’re not talking about replacing humans, but about the evolution of the translator into a subject matter expert and the localization lead into an ecosystem architect.

The Vancouver Edition is designed for the leaders navigating the gap between AI potential and operational reality. We are moving beyond the hype to tackle the actual bottlenecks. How do we orchestrate a global content ecosystem where AI is the multiplier and humans are the essential strategists? How do we redefine "quality" when traditional metrics like errors per thousand words no longer reflect business impact? How do we solve the orchestration bottleneck to move from "translation as a service" to "localization as an ecosystem capability"? How do we ensure an ethical, multilingual future that serves more than just the dominant few?
