The #1 conference for the localization industry · Since 2003
October 19–21, 2026 · Vancouver Convention Centre, BC, Canada
The room where the language industry decides what’s next.
Since 2003, LocWorld has convened the people who build, buy, and lead localization. Three days that set the agenda for the next twelve months of the industry.

Five reasons the industry keeps showing up.
Not a checklist. The actual reasons a buyer, a vendor, or a linguist blocks these three days on the calendar.
Five reasons, five brushstrokes. The colors above are the five strokes of the LocWorld globe — one colorful, worldwide community.

Draft agenda – timings and session content subject to change.
Why this isn’t just
another conference
The LocWorld agenda is shaped by a hand-picked Program Committee of buyers, vendors, and practitioners. They read the proposals, weigh what the industry needs to hear, and build a program with substance at its core. That committee is the reason the sessions hold up year after year.
