Phrase Summit 2026
Beyond Translation: The Rise of Language Intelligence
September 29–30 – San Francisco
A curated gathering for Phrase customers and their teams
Translation is now instant, and available to anyone. The new competitive frontier is language intelligence: how well we apply context, judgment, and brand to language at scale. Phrase Summit 2026 is where you get ahead of it: two days of building alongside the Phrase team and the peers shaping what’s next.
Intimate, senior, and hands-on by design.
Phrase Summit is our first invitation-only customer event: a deliberately small gathering of the people building the future of language intelligence. Over two days you’ll solve real problems with the Phrase team, see what’s coming next, and help shape where the platform goes.
Who you’ll meet
Senior localization leaders and their engineering counterparts, from a curated group of enterprises, alongside the Phrase product, engineering, and solutions teams who build the platform.
What to expect
Two days of hands-on workshops, candid conversation, and a first look at what’s coming, plus the dinners and networking that make the trip worth it. Come to work, and to connect.
What you’ll learn
How to turn language intelligence into a real advantage: orchestrating AI, holding quality and brand steady at scale, and getting more from the Phrase setup you already run. You’ll leave with practical fixes and knowledge you can apply.

Move quality from a score you read to a signal the pipeline acts on
Configure the pipeline on your own content, then watch quality get caught and fixed in real time; moving beyond rule checks to whether the translation truly lands with its audience.
