My first memory of a TAUS conference was being flown to Taos, New Mexico on something that most resembled a flying smaller-size sedan, and it was that historic conference where the TAUS Data Association was established. I have been attending pretty much every TAUS conference ever since.

Over the years, have been a member of the organizing committees, was one of the early adopters of the TAUS DQF platform, contributed to the creation TAUS MTPE guidelines and both moderated panels and delivered presentations - all in all, have been involved actively with the organization.

To me the most attractive part of the TAUS events is the breakdown on the audience - a reasonably even distribution between researchers, practitioners and business leaders in the space of translation automation. When you have these pretty distinct perspectives on the future state of our industry, this drives the most insightful discussions and one always leaves the conference with a fresh perspective on the industry and new ideas of how to apply those ideas to her own work.

Another attractive thing about the TAUS events is that people speak very openly and are not afraid of making controversial statements, be it the future of the industry jobs, human parity of machine translation or now adoption and role of LLMs - are they or are the not the silver bullet. I am definitely a fan and will continue both attending the events and contributing to the content.

Attending the TAUS Massively Multimedia convention in Rome was a remarkable experience for me and my company. I had the opportunity to connect with some of the top minds in our industry and that was truly inspiring. I was also lucky enough to be selected for the innovation contest and the experience could have not been better. Gaining their recognition left me speechless.

But the best part was meeting and engaging with these leaders. This not only broadened my perspective but also provided invaluable insights and guidance. I am immensely grateful to the organizers for fostering an environment that encourages innovation.

The convention created an amazing, cozy atmosphere for networking and learning. The connections and knowledge gained from this experience have already started to make a positive impact on our projects and strategy and on me as a person.

The TAUS Massively Multilingual AI Conference in Rome was a game-changer for me! As a Language AI Research Manager, I was blown away by the wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities. From speaking at my first TAUS conference to securing 2nd place in the Innovation Contest, every moment was filled with learning and growth.

The prompt engineering workshop and quality estimation sessions with industry leaders were incredibly insightful. TAUS created an environment where ideas flowed freely, and connections were made effortlessly. This conference not only expanded my professional network but also validated our aligned strategies in the ever-evolving world of AI and localization.

I left feeling inspired, motivated, and equipped with fresh perspectives to drive innovation in our field. TAUS has set a new standard for industry events - I can’t wait for the next one!
