The multilingual communication landscape is shifting quickly. Cisco’s recent intent to acquire EzDubs, a startup known for speech-to-speech translation that preserves tone and voice characteristics, is the latest signal that major platforms are accelerating their push into AI-driven language services. If the acquisition is finalised, Webex will eventually benefit from more natural, voice-preserving translation technology.

There’s no denying it — work has changed, permanently. These days, it’s common for a single project team to span three or four time zones. One team member might log in from London, another from Warsaw, and another from Cape Town or Singapore. The era of fixed offices and face-to-face collaboration is fading fast. In its place, we now have something more flexible, more borderless — and far more complex.

Multilingual meetings and events have become a standard part of global business. Expectations for accessibility and inclusion continue to rise, and so do the challenges for event organisers and planners, project managers, event coordinators and anyone involved in the preparation of a global event; especially when it comes to managing multilingual services across formats, time zones, and budget constraints. Therefore, whether you're hosting internal training sessions, live webinars, or multi-language conferences, finding a cost-effective way to manage interpretation across multiple events can be a real hurdle.

That’s where Interprefy Plans come in. Instead of locking organisations into a rigid, standardised approach, they offer a flexible way to plan and budget for options that match your needs, not just your next event.

There was a time — not that long ago — when offering interpretation at events felt like a gesture of generosity. Something above and beyond. Now? In 2025, it's fast becoming the baseline.

Part of that shift has to do with legislation. But it’s also about what audiences expect. They’re joining from dozens of countries, tuning in on different devices, and increasingly, they’re asking: Can I actually follow this in my own language?

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.

Q1 is a crucial time for businesses to set the tone for the year. For event planners and conference organizers, this means delivering impactful global events that resonate with diverse audiences. Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) has become an indispensable tool in achieving this, but simply having RSI isn't enough. You need a strategic approach.

In business, effective communication is the cornerstone of success. This is true whether you’re in a high-stakes meeting, pitching to investors or meeting with your team. However, communication is challenging in multilingual settings where language barriers can lead to misunderstandings. 

Companies have traditionally defaulted to English when participants don't speak the same language. In-person interpreters and remote simultaneous interpreters are primarily used at high-stakes meetings or big conferences because, while effective, these solutions take time to organise and can be expensive. Fortunately, we’ve entered a new era where AI-driven technology has made language translation more accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. 

Global cooperation plays a crucial role in stimulating economic development. Within the finance and insurance sectors, multilingual meetings and events play a vital role. These events serve as a crucial platform for negotiations, boosting productivity, and nurturing partnerships among industry stakeholders.

Medical innovation thrives on multinational collaboration and knowledge sharing. Within the medical and pharma industry, multilingual events play a key role in facilitating conversations, enhancing scientific knowledge, and fostering partnerships between industry players.
