The objective of the NTIF 2014 is for the translation and localization industry representatives from the Nordic and Baltic countries to find a platform for exchanging ideas and knowledge. This year, companies from 30 countries will be represented and for the first time there will be tools demonstration sessions in parallel to the main conference. You will see demos from Kaleidoscope, SDL, Memsource, Easyling, WordFinder and Plunet.

The key-note speaker will be Hans Rosenfeldt. Hans is the writer of the award-winning Danish/Swedish TV series “The Bridge” who has been sold to over 130 countries in the world. Other speakers will include Lane Greene (The Economist), Britta Aagard and Robert Etches (TextMinded), Dion Wiggins (Asia Online), Mads Ingeman Blücher (Amesto), Sara Gangelhof (Vestas) and Danilo Monaco (Arancho Doc Group) among others, discussing topics such as Communication, Global Centralization, Talent Management, Technology and Terminology.

Speakers' list also includes Nordtext's co-founder Kristaps Kvelde. Kristaps is a returning speaker, having presented at the very first NTIF event in 2011, where his presentation on EU tenders was very well received. This year Kristaps will share insights from the re-branding process at Nordtext, giving practical advice on mistakes to avoid and discussing the ingredients required for a successful re-brand.

The main objective of the event is to promote Nordic-Baltic cooperation, bring new perspectives on opportunities in the Baltic market and provide a unique arena for exchange of experiences and professional networking for Nordic-Baltic companies.

Since Nordtext was established, one of our key goals have been to enable and facilitate cross-border business relations in the Nordics and Baltics through effective use of language and communication. During the past few years we have helped more than 300 different businesses in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with translation, localization, desktop publishing, technical writing and other language solutions. We have seen first hand the positive outcomes of effective communication, and for these reasons we are among the sponsors and supporters of this business forum.

Among the key speakers are Knut Magnussen (Senior Economist, DNB), Jan Widberg (Director, Nordic Council of Minister´s Office in Latvia), Kristi Tiivas (Director, Invest in Estonia Enterprise Estonia), Esa Hyvärinen (Senior Vice President, Corporate Relations, Fortum), Frode Grønvold (CEO, Linstow Center Management), among others.
