On May 23, 2025, SlatorCon London welcomed over 200 global leaders from across the language services and AI landscape to a sold-out event in the heart of London.
This milestone edition marked Slator’s 10th anniversary and set the stage for a pivotal conversation on the future of the industry. Attendees witnessed the unveiling of Slator’s new industry framework, replacing traditional terms LSP and TMS with Language Solutions Integrator (LSI) and Language Technology Platform (LTP).
The day began with a strategic keynote on rebranding and embedding multilingual engagement at scale, followed by sessions on investor strategies in AI-native startups and the operational impact of centralizing localization — with actionable insights on change management and stakeholder alignment.
