[March 2, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA, US] – 1-StopAsia is excited to announce that we are teaming up with memoQ for an upcoming GALA webinar focused on the critical intersection of security, standards, and the Asian localization market. As the industry evolves, we are eager to share how European LSPs can successfully navigate these complex waters.
The webinar, “Navigating the East: Why Standards and Security Are Key to the Asian Market,” will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 (9:30 – 10:30 AM CET). The session will explore a vital shift in the industry: why security and privacy requirements often carry more weight with Asian buyers than translation quality alone.
Meet Yana: As the CEO of 1-StopAsia, Yana Dinchiyska leads the company’s evolution toward AI-driven workflows and strategic scalability. With a deep background in business transformation, she is passionate about empowering teams to thrive in an era where technology and human intelligence work hand-in-hand.
Meet Balázs: One of the founders of memoQ, Balázs Kis is an engineer and linguist with vast experience in translation technology and compliance. He is a member of the Language Industry Expert Group (LIND) for the European Commission and is a leading voice in the AI Localization Think Tank.The session will be a deep dive into operational excellence. Asked about the importance of this topic, Yana noted, “As the industry moves beyond a simple ‘translation and editing’ model, understanding how foundational standards like ISO 17100 and ISO 27001 integrate with AI is no longer just a ‘good-to-have’—it is essential for ROI.”
Key topics will include:
- Global Privacy & AI Governance: A look at information security laws with a specific focus on Asia.
- The Evolution of Standards: How ISO 17100 is changing to accommodate broader localization workflows.
- AI as a Strategic Tool: Best practices for incorporating AI into established processes safely and responsibly.
- Essential Requirements: Distinguishing between what European LSPs need for success versus what is merely optional.
