Finance and insurance companies handle vast amounts of sensitive information — from confidential client information to regulatory compliance records and high-value transactions. A single breach can trigger severe consequences, including regulatory fines, loss of trust, and financial damage. In an era of cross-border operations and hybrid teams, the risk of data interception, cyberattacks, and compliance violations has never been higher, especially when multilingual communication is involved. Without a secure, trusted multilingual meeting platform, even confidential meetings can become vulnerable.

Planning an event that runs smoothly is already a big job. Throw in multiple languages, hybrid attendance, and tight timelines, and it gets a lot trickier.

We get it. You want everyone at your event — whether they’re in the room or joining online — to feel included and able to follow along. But traditional interpretation setups aren’t designed for today’s formats. Many times they’re costly, complicated, and don’t always fit with your tools or timeline.

The good news is, there’s a better way. More and more organisers are turning to flexible solutions that support multilingual communication without piling on extra stress or equipment. And they’re seeing results: simpler setups, smoother experiences, and events that work better for everyone.

This guide walks through how to make that shift — so you can plan events that reach more people, work across languages, and still feel easy to run.

Running a multilingual discussion has always been a complex challenge, requiring seamless, real-time accessibility to ensure effective communication across languages. That’s why Interprefy is leading the way, constantly refining its solutions to make cross-language communication effortless. The latest enhancements to Interprefy Now offer greater flexibility and user autonomy, making multilingual event participation smoother than ever before.

In today’s world, where most events are global and multilingual, ensuring that everyone can follow along is a must. Whether you’re hosting a global conference, managing a corporate town hall, or running a live-streamed webinar, close captions and subtitles are no longer something you can overlook. They are the key to making your message clear, inclusive, and impactful.

Every January, as Q1 begins, businesses around the world set ambitious goals and dive into a bustling event season with renewed energy. The start of the year is often packed with activities, from product launches to press conferences, as organisations strive to set the tone for the year ahead. Yet, a key challenge persists: how do you create a truly global experience, especially when your attendees speak different languages?

At Interprefy, we’ve been helping businesses and organisations worldwide overcome this obstacle. Here’s how you can use AI-powered live translation and captions to make your events more inclusive and accessible.

In 2014, a bold idea was born in Zurich that would forever change the interpretation and translation industry. Kim Ludvigsen, the visionary founder of Interprefy, was attending a conference when he noticed the outdated booths and equipment used for interpretation—technology that hadn’t seen much change since the 1960s. Inspired by the widespread use of smartphones and the internet, he posed a pivotal question that would spark a revolution: why couldn’t interpreters work remotely and attendees use their own devices to access event interpretations? This question marked the beginning of Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI). 

Are communication barriers hindering the success of your business? If so, you’re not alone. Many international finance corporations are in the same boat. These organisations face the challenge of crucial information being lost in translation, mainly due to the different linguistic backgrounds of their team members.

As Interprefy celebrates its 10th anniversary, we reflect on a decade of helping the language industry and empowering global communication. With rapid advancements in remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) and real-time translation powered by AI, businesses now have unprecedented access to seamless, multilingual interactions that constantly adapt to an increasingly globalised world.

Did you know that 94% of multilingual event planning professionals are considering using AI speech translation and captions in their future events? Clear communication across languages has never been more critical. As the world becomes more connected,innovative technologies are paving the way for more inclusive experiences. One of these innovations is AI-powered speech translation, which is quickly changing how multilingual events are planned.
