International UI/UX Design
US-based companies often design a US-centric interface and apply the same design elements globally. However, to effectively attract and engage customers outside of the US, we need to shift the paradigm from a one-size-fits-all to an adaptive geo-fit model, displaying the right intuitive interface experiences and value prop positioning to better resonate with our local customers. Shopify and Linkedin will share their product UI/UX geo-fit optimizations to maximize adoption in new markets. Gui and Pablo will showcase different cultural rhythmic patterns from origin Samba in Brazil to Mediterranean tempos, and how we can fine tune the right product design by tuning in to our customers’ lifestyle soundtrack. This is our first virtual live concert!

Global-Ready-First Adaptive Strategy
How do we pivot the corporate culture to an adaptive global-ready-first strategy in platform, product, and people?
The traditional linear, manual, functionally siloed, US-first workflows cannot survive in the post-pandemic global world. Winning companies are those who are able to “hit the ground running,” with adaptive, simultaneous, instant deploys in new markets at scale. Circular, automated, horizontal, cross-functional integrations for scaling global growth is the name of the game in the new era. Learn more about it in this event.

GlobalSaké end-of year-Sake Tasting party (in-person!)

Global-Ready and Geo-fit Payments
How much money has your company lost in involuntary churn in your Checkout flow for international segments? Most US-based companies, including the mega multinational global corporations, leave hefty sums of money on the table simply because they do not adapt their pricing plans, checkout funnel experience, and payment methods by geo in their priority new markets. In this session, we’ll explore how to effectively internationalize and transadapt global payments and optimize checkout to complete orders funnel across borders, methods, and user expected behaviors. We'll also deep-dive into understanding LATAM's payments ecosystem for the unbanked and underbanked, share market insights and platform global-readiness.

Multilingual content strategy: transcreation, culturalization, regionalization and origination
When is straight interface translation good enough? What assets require a deep localization treatment, or better yet—content transcreation, culturalization and regionalization? And when do we need to go all-in with local-market content origination?
Hear 3 solo presentations from 3 subject-matter experts in the industry, sharing case study stories from around the globe, and how they’ve impacted the business bottomline. In this session, we’ll also discuss the power of narrative: Who owns “global content” and “Who’s telling your story.” You’re in for a real treat!
