TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE 2020 EDITION

  • I’ve never found an online conference so engaging before. Great guests and some really fascinating discussions.”

  • “This was a really interesting conference and something completely different that I haven’t seen around before. It really gave me food for thought about the future and how roles are changing. I particularly enjoyed Giulia’s talk as it felt so positive to see this way of working.”

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, great introduction, every single presentation great in its own way, so informative and some of it really eye-opening. I would definitely attend another one, be it online or live.”

  • Well-organised, good and quick communication. Interesting topic, excellent choice of speakers (variety!). Definitely worth attending.”

  • Topic and speakers were all excellent, they opened up a world I had no idea about! So I think a great selection of speakers, I enjoyed, in particular, the one by Jamie Brown and Giulia Tarditi. But honestly, all of them! I also liked the time table, with a few minutes between one talk and the other and the coffee break with the video chat room for that human touch you cannot get because of the virtual world we are living in now.”

  • The conference was superb. I really think you, Maria, are a natural. You were charming and positive and really had a huge impact on the success of the event.”

  • It was a fantastic day well spent! Super organisation, committed/engaging moderators, fantastic speakers, perfect pace (breaks), fun (I loved the Bingo), I don’t see any room for improvement. Thank you very much!”

  • “I really liked the conference, the topics that it covered and the selection of speakers. Also, I must compliment the organisers – they did all steps right, everything was timely, organised, clear, smooth and just very well done! I am looking forward to participating next year!”

  • The Creative Language Conference was a fabulous online event and all speakers were very knowledgeable, clear, interesting and ready to answer all questions.”

  • “Well done to Maria and her team! Initially, I was disappointed that the event could not be held in person but they have managed to give the participants a full day of top talks. So much food for thought in a unique conference, so much value! I am already looking forward to the next one.

  • One of the most interesting conferences I attended this year. Great talks, very insightful topics, and the entire organisation was great: 45 minutes for each talk is the perfect time, with a good break within each other. You really did a wonderful job! I can’t wait for the next one!”

  • I just loved the conference: great organisation, time management, speakers, chats… I’d repeat anytime.”

  • “This year’s Creative Language Conference was so interesting and so smoothly run by Maria and the team at Crisol. Even when there were minor technical issues over Zoom, they kept calm and got everything running within a very short space of time. The hosts made sure all questions were answered and allowed for some networking throughout the day. All the talks were well-timed and kept to the slots, with nice breaks between for refreshment and toilet breaks. Will definitely attend next year if it runs! I learned a lot in one day!”

  • Organisation was superb! I loved having one link per session, and I enjoyed the interactivity of the break. It was an AMAZING scoop into the world of AI.”

WHO IS THIS CONFERENCE FOR?

Attendees will include representatives from marketing companies, language services providers, magazines, publishing companies, copywriters, writers, translators, photographers, designers, researchers, etc. Basically anyone who has an interest in creative language, both verbal and visual.

WHAT DOES THE CONFERENCE COVER?

While the 2020 edition of CLConf revolved around artificial intelligence, this year’s edition will focus on the psychological aspects of creativity:

  • What happens in our brains when we create and when we are exposed to creative pieces, and how can we leverage it for UX and UI?
  • How can we boost our creativity?
  • What are some tips, tricks, and hacks to become a great non-fiction writer?
  • How do photography and copywriting come together in marketing?
  • How is creativity shaped by cultural values and what’s the implication for localisation and global marketing?
  • What are the limitations of technology when it comes to creative work?
  • …and much more.

Moreover, your 2021 ticket includes access to all 2020 recordings (available at request).
