Beyond Borders: AI, Language & the Future of Global Content
Hello Friends,
India’s festive season is around the corner—and this year, CITLoB is adding another reason for the language and content community to come together.
SAMVĀD 2026, South Asia’s largest language industry conference, will take place on 26 October 2026 at Holiday Inn, Mumbai, in partnership with FICCI and C-DAC.
This is not just another industry conference.
The world of content is undergoing a fundamental transformation. AI is changing how content is created, translated, localised and consumed. Technology is redefining traditional business models, while the explosion of digital, OTT, media and global content is creating entirely new opportunities. For leaders, the question is no longer whether AI will change our industry—it is how we choose to lead through that change.
Under the theme “Beyond Borders: AI, Language & the Future of Global Content,” SAMVĀD 2026 will bring together CEOs, entrepreneurs, language and technology leaders, global content creators, broadcasters, media and OTT companies, technology platforms, government institutions, academia and international industry associations.
With Bruno Herrmann as the keynote speaker, and an exciting line-up of experts bringing perspectives from across industries and geographies, SAMVĀD 2026 promises a rich exchange of ideas, perspectives and experiences.
But the real value of SAMVĀD lies beyond the stage.
It is a place to challenge assumptions, exchange ideas, discover new business possibilities, forge partnerships and understand where the global content ecosystem is heading.
At a time when AI is simultaneously disrupting established models and opening doors to unprecedented scale, isolation is not an option. The conversations we have today could shape the businesses we build tomorrow.
I invite CEOs, founders and industry leaders to join us at SAMVĀD 2026—not merely as delegates, but as contributors to a conversation that matters.
Come with questions. Bring your perspective. Leave with possibilities.
SAMVĀD 2026 — Beyond Borders. Beyond Convention. Beyond Today
Regards,
