On 8-10 October 2014, an international conference entitled «InterMission Global» was held in Bangkok, Thailand. The event gathered almost 240 participants from around the world – representatives of organizations dedicated to the cause of Bible translation. IBT Russia/CIS was represented by Dr. Ketevan Gadilia, linguist and administrative coordinator of many of IBT's Bible translation projects.

 The theme of the conference covered various areas of activity, especially focusing on Bible translation, Scripture engagement, and language development. The main aim was that conference participants would realize and experience the close relationship between these three spheres of activity as they relate to language vitality movements among ethnic groups around the world.

The meeting was held in the format of interactive communication with an exchange of diverse opinions, original ideas, experiences and knowledge. Plenary sessions were followed by small group discussion, and then by regional meetings with presentations by participants. Dr. Gadilia took part in special focus group dealing with the specific features of Bible translation in the Muslim context.
