Localization Lab is now accepting applications for Localization Lab contributors interested in attending this year's Localization Summit and Sprint! The Summit and Sprint will coincide with the 2019 Internet Freedom Festival which takes place from April 1st - 5th in Valencia, Spain. The Summit will take place on March 31st and is a full day event. The Localization Sprint date and time are still TBD, however it will take place during regular IFF 2019 programming.

The Localization Summit and Sprint provide an opportunity for you as a Localization Lab translator and contributor to meet and communicate face-to-face with the Localization Lab staff; fellow volunteer contributors; regional human rights and civil society organizations and activists working on Internet freedom and governance issues; and developers of the tools that you work tirelessly to make available for those in need.

If you are interested in joining the Localization Lab community at IFF 2019 by participating in the Localization Summit, Localization Sprint, and community social events, please fill out and submit the application.

(If you are a developer or content creator and would like to join the Summit or Sprint on behalf of your project, please contact info@localizationlab.og for more details.)

Before you apply, please note the following:

You must have a confirmed IFF 2019 ticket in order to attend the Localization Lab Summit and Sprint. If your IFF ticket has not yet been confirmed, you are still welcome to apply, however we will have to prioritize those with tickets first. Let us know as soon as your ticket is confirmed or denied.
We have very limited funding to support the travel and accommodations of Localization Lab Summit and Sprint participants. If you are in need of financial support, please provide clear details in the application. We will let individuals know if we can support them by the 1st of March.
