Smartling is bringing the Global Ready Workshop series to cities across Europe and the United States. These workshops are designed for senior localization, product, and marketing leaders who are ready to think differently about their work.
These workshops gained strong traction in 2025, with leaders from companies like HubSpot, Dell, Strava, and Tesla joining. The conversations went well beyond tactics, focusing on how localization leaders are shaping strategy, earning buy-in, and navigating change heading into 2026.
Each workshop is co-led by industry advisor Chris Dell (Next Chapter Advisory, formerly Booking.com) and members of the Smartling executive team. Expect practical frameworks you can use immediately, peer-level conversations that challenge your thinking, and an evening dinner to deepen connections.
These are small-format, high-value sessions built for leaders driving the future of localization in their organizations.
What you’ll experience
In every city, we’ll dig into the strategic foundations that help leaders futureproof their teams and influence decision making:
- Building long-term localization strategies
- Selling your vision and earning stakeholder buy-in
- Turning objections into alignment
- Developing an innovation mindset for 2026 and beyond
Workshops run from 3:00–6:00 PM, followed by a private dinner.
Participation is free for qualified professionals. Please plan to contribute and stay for the full experience.
