[September 21, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA, US] – Today we are pleased to announce that Yana Dinchiyska, CEO of 1-StopAsia, will represent the company at ELIA Networking Days 2026, taking place on October 1-2, 2026, in Seville, Spain.
Hosted by the European Language Industry Association (ELIA), Networking Days brings together language industry leaders and decision-makers for two days of peer discussion, strategic thinking, and networking. This year’s event is centered around the theme “Strategy Under Pressure: Escape Old Thinking. Solve Change.”
Strategy Under Pressure
The language services industry is facing a period of significant change. AI is influencing client expectations and buying decisions, while shifting demand and increasingly competitive markets are pushing LSPs to reconsider their strategies, services, and opportunities for growth.
ND26 takes a practical approach to these challenges through an interactive “un-conference” format. Participants will work in small groups through four “Escape Room” sessions built around real LSP challenges, from changing client expectations and saturated markets to pressure on traditional revenue streams and difficult strategic decisions.
For Yana, the event is an opportunity to exchange perspectives with fellow industry leaders, take part in conversations about the changes shaping the LSP landscape, and gain fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead for the industry.
“What makes events like Networking Days valuable is the opportunity to step outside our usual routines and have open conversations with people facing many of the same questions from different perspectives. I am looking forward to hearing how other LSPs are responding to the changes in our industry, challenging some of our own assumptions, and exploring what these shifts could mean for the way we work and grow in the future,” says Yana Dinchiyska.
Connecting with the Language Industry
Networking is a central part of the event, with opportunities for attendees to connect both during and beyond the conference sessions. The programme includes welcome drinks on September 30, a networking dinner on October 1, and a city treasure hunt through Seville on October 2.
Throughout the event, Yana will have the opportunity to connect with fellow language industry professionals, exchange perspectives on the challenges facing LSPs, and explore potential partnerships and new ideas for navigating a changing market.
For 1-StopAsia, participating in industry events such as ND26 is an opportunity to stay close to the conversations shaping the language services sector and bring those perspectives into the company’s ongoing thinking about technology, partnerships, and the future of Asian language localization.
