In this special episode, host Marjolein Groot Nibbelink is joined by none other than the founders of LocWorld, Donna Parrish, and Ulrich Henes, as they celebrate the 50th iteration of this seminal event in the language industry.

Dive deep into the origins of LocWorld, starting from its inception in 2003, the exponential growth, and the unexpected boom of attendees right from their first event.
