Using the Tools to Better Your Business

ELIA is very pleased to announce Networking Days Istanbul to be held 15-17 April 2010. This will be the eighth Networking Days organized by ELIA and one of the best. The program features three tracks with four sessions each day, providing both the in-depth, applicable know-how of ELIA's characteristic full-day workshops and informative introductions to topics, products and services less familiar during the fifteen thought-provoking sessions.

ND Istanbul's six tracks over the first two days offer a unique opportunity to:

• familiarize yourself with some of the recent innovations and improvements to make a splash in the industry,
• learn how to improve a company's sales/marketing and communication,
• discover the pros and cons of the standard tools used by most LSPs - translation memories and project/business management programs - from companies that actually make use of the programs every day,
• finally make sense of some of those online services that everyone else seems to know how to use,
• improve your management skills from a professional management consultant, and
• develop an understanding of regional differences that can impact the way you do business.

As suggested by the title of this biannual signature ELIA event, the three days are not only about session and workshops. The program is filled with both organized and informal time to network. Extra time is built into the daily schedule to provide attendees the time to meet and continue conversations begun over breaks and lunch. Thursday evening will feature the ELIA Networking Cocktail and an optional dinner is available on the Friday. For Saturday, the group will depart the hotel and spend a good portion of the day on a networking and sightseeing tour of the incredibly enchanting city of Istanbul. Don't miss it!
