"Africa is the world’s most diverse linguistic continent and the birthplace of human language. It is also the continent with the highest growth rates in some of the most advanced technologies, such as internet and mobile communications. For the first time, AGIS ’11 will connect Africa’s language industry and decision makers with the mainstream localization and translation industry and researchers." (This connection was actually presaged by the Africa track at the LISA Cairo conference in 2005.)
