The Language Industry Awards Ceremony 2017 is returning to the city of Ghent in Belgium, where the LIAs made their debut in 2014.

Last year, the original gala ceremony was reshaped as a fresh and novel pop-up show, staged during The Language Market at The Value of Language, a major industry event on purchasing language solutions and comprising a conference and trade fair held at the Faculty of Arts on the KU Leuven Campus in Brussels.

This year, The Language Industry Awards programme launches the LIAs Top 100 Live, a live countdown show to be held in Ghent and on Facebook Live on 8-12 May 2017, every weekday from 12.00 am to 2.00 pm.

“We look forward to celebrating the best of the language sector during the LIAs Top 100 Live Show. Voting for longlisted nominees will be open on 26-27 April, with the full list of nominees available on the official Language Industry Awards website,' LIAs Event Manager, Shauni Bollaert, explains.

The Language Industry Awards (LIAs) were established in 2014 to celebrate excellence across all segments of the language sector. Today, the LIAs are recognised as a hallmark of quality, and the event is widely regarded as a top level networking opportunity in the language sector. The LIAs Top 100 Live Show will be attended by industry leaders, government officials, representatives from education, politics, academia and the non-profit sector. The Show will be staged in front of a live audience and streamed through Facebook Live.
