New Delhi, India, June 6, 2025: The Confederation of Interpreting, Translation and Localization Businesses (CITLoB) has officially announced the return of Samvād, its flagship annual conference, to be held in person on October 30–31, 2025, at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. This year’s theme, “New Horizons in Localization: Adapting, Innovating & Thriving,” will guide two days of in-depth discussions around the future of language services in India and beyond.

India, the world’s fastest-growing major economy, continues to rise as a strategic global market. With over 1.4 billion people—nearly a billion of whom are under 35—and a rapidly digitizing society processing almost 1 billion UPI transactions per day, the country is redefining how localization is approached. For global brands and language professionals alike, India offers more than scale—it offers transformation.

Samvād, meaning “dialogue” in Sanskrit, is a space for the localization industry to connect, learn, and collaborate. This year’s event will feature expert talks, interactive panels, and focused networking opportunities. It will also include a curated Expo with limited booths (10 total), giving companies and service providers direct access to partners and prospects in the region.

CITLoB is now accepting proposals for talks, panels, and moderator roles. The Call for Papers is open here: https://forms.office.com/r/DwFpLVx5Ty

Delegate fees and sponsorship packages are designed to be accessible for both domestic and international attendees. For full event details, visit: https://citlob.in/samvad-2025.html
