We're excited to announce The ParlamINT--GlobalSaké's 2021 annual series program for cross-functional leaders driving international efforts.

It includes 12 consecutive monthly sessions, on the first Thursday of each month, starting on February 4, 2021. The program is designed to address our community’s ask for continuity with on-going meetups for relationship building and knowledge share. At a time of virtual isolation, we hope that this new program will foster multi touchpoint, deeper cross-functional collaborations, with applied practical learnings across industry verticals and geolocations.

The audience:

Global cross-functional leaders and experts driving international efforts—Internationalization & Localization, New Markets Entry Strategy, Product & Growth, Dev/Design, User Research for international segments, Multilingual NLP, International Partnerships, Global Payments, New Markets Operations, Global Customer Support, to name a few. Most of our global community is composed of client-side executives in the tech industry—startups, scale-ups, and multinational corporations—all targeting international expansion as their 2021 priority core objective.

Program format:

Each monthly session will be dedicated to a specific topic and challenge, helping companies maximize new markets adoption. Our guest speakers are savvy thought-leader subject-matter experts from around the globe (one of the special perks in running virtual events!)

The annual program includes a total of 12 events:

Ten industry insights sessions (one per month) with expert panels, Flash TedTalk case-study presentations, fireside chats, audience Q&A, and breakout room brainstorming digests with networking.

A "Your Challenge Roundtable" event, where The ParlamINT community members can submit their company’s big international challenge and leverage insights in a Solutions Discussion with the community's Roundtable experts.

Our traditional GlobalSaké end-of-year Networking Saké Tasting party with our content program (a physical in-person event by then--December 2021!)
