From the Dothraki language of Daenerys’ people to the ancient and varied dialects of High Valryian, these Game of Thrones languages gave authenticity to the world of Westeros. Not only that, they created a community of enthusiasts eager to learn the languages themselves. Building on these themes, the event will review the technical process for creating a new language, as well as how brands can implement these practices for their own target audiences.

Topics include:

• Success tactics from GoT and how to create brand superfans through language
• The creative inspiration and technical process of new language creation
• Why quality assurance matters when implementing language for audiences worldwide
• How Dothraki and High Valyrian compare against other hit fictional languages

Attendees will also get the opportunity to ask questions and test their High Valyrian knowledge in a complimentary masterclass led by both Peterson and Sams following the event.
