We are still just coming out of the pandemic and this summer and just don't feel like traveling yet. So I decided that instead of physically moving I will explore the various L10N platforms and Networks. This will most likely include attending webinars and online events, watching videos, listening to podcasts, and reading articles from localization professionals and industry experts. I have never been a great networker and socializer and I don't think this will change much. However, I feel like with all the technical innovations, it would be somewhat a waste if I don't take advantage the many (free) offerings to learn, stay connected, and expand my professional horizon. And who knows, maybe I will discover that networking is not as much a burden but a natural and fun way of being informed and making valuable and real connections.
