Wordly gives every attendee real-time translation and captioning in the language they prefer, delivered live during keynotes, breakouts, and general sessions. Event and meeting planners use Wordly to make in-person, hybrid, and virtual programs accessible to global and multilingual audiences without booking human interpretation booths or handing out receiver hardware.
Wordly has powered live translation and captioning at some of the largest conferences in the world, including Dreamforce, IMEX, and the flagship events of the meeting and event industry's own professional associations.
Yes. Wordly AI translation and captions are built for live conferences and support major events across the globe.
Here is what that looks like in practice. A speaker presents in their own language. Wordly converts the audio in real time and delivers it to attendees as live captions, translated subtitles, or translated audio, each person choosing the language they want on their own device. It works the same way whether the room holds 200 people or 20,000, and whether the audience is together in one venue or joining from around the world.
For planners, the shift is significant. Language access used to mean interpretation booths, headsets, and per-language staffing that limited how many languages you could realistically offer. AI translation removes those constraints, so you can support many more languages, more sessions, and more attendees at a fraction of the coordination.
Wordly listens to the live audio feed from a session and produces translation and captioning instantly, then streams it to attendees wherever they are.
The core of the experience is simple for everyone involved:
Because it runs from the audio feed rather than per-attendee hardware, one configuration can cover a keynote stage and dozens of concurrent breakout rooms across a multi-day agenda.
The strongest signal for any planner is who else trusts the solution, and Wordly is the choice of the organizations that set the standard for the meetings and events industry.
The professional associations that event planners belong to, PCMA, MPI, GBTA, and ASAE, all use Wordly at their own flagship conferences. When the people who run events for a living choose Wordly for their marquee programs, and return with it year after year, that is the clearest proof it holds up under real conditions.
Wordly also performs at the largest scale in the industry. At Dreamforce in San Francisco, Salesforce's flagship conference, Wordly delivered more than 300 hours of live AI translation and captioning across over 600 sessions for an audience of 45,000 or more. At IMEX in Frankfurt, the global gathering for event professionals from more than 160 countries, Wordly has powered translation across keynotes and breakouts for multiple years.
Across the broader portfolio, Wordly has powered live translation and captions at:
Every one of these is an example of what Wordly can do for your conference or event, regardless of size, format, or audience.
Wordly has been used by millions of meeting and event attendees worldwide. Hear what our customers have to say.
Wordly scales from focused single-day programs to the largest annual conferences in the world, and supports in-person, hybrid, and virtual formats equally.
The range above tells the story. Wordly has served intimate delegate gatherings of around 1,000, mid-size association summits, and mega-conferences of 45,000 or more, using the same underlying solution. It has powered single-day kickoff events like MPI Smart Monday and multi-day, multi-track agendas with hundreds of concurrent sessions like Dreamforce and PCMA Convening Leaders.
The format is just as flexible. Corporate flagship conferences, association annual meetings, education-focused programs, and international assemblies have all run on Wordly.
Wordly supports dozens of languages, and organizers routinely offer a dozen or more at a single event so attendees can follow along in the language they are most comfortable with.
Real programs show what that unlocks. At the GBTA Convention, Wordly enabled access in 15 languages for more than 660 users. At PCMA EduCon, attendees followed sessions in 12 languages, and at the PCMA CEMA Summit, in 11. Offering that many languages through traditional interpretation would be cost-prohibitive for most events. With Wordly, expanding language coverage is a setting, not a staffing decision, so you can meet the needs of a genuinely global audience.
Wordly is a supported service, not a self-serve tool you are left to figure out. Every event includes hands-on help before and during the program.
For each of the events above, Wordly provided pre-event setup, custom glossary creation, on-site configuration, testing, and live support throughout the event. In practice that means:
This is the part planners feel most on show day. The technology matters, but so does knowing a team has tested the setup and is standing by if anything comes up.
Yes. Wordly meets the security, privacy, and accessibility standards that enterprise and public-sector organizers require, backed by independent certifications and audits.
Wordly's compliance coverage includes: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and VPAT.
For planners running programs under procurement, privacy, or accessibility mandates, this means Wordly can clear security reviews and support your compliance obligations rather than becoming a blocker to approval.
The value of live translation does not end when the closing session wraps. Wordly turns spoken sessions into multilingual content organizers can use long after the event.
After the program, organizers can put session transcripts and translated text records to work, extend recorded and on-demand sessions with captions and translations, and make content accessible to people who could not attend live or who prefer a different language. Usage data from the event also shows which languages attendees actually used, which helps you plan language coverage for next time and demonstrate the reach and inclusivity of your program to stakeholders and sponsors.
In short, one live event becomes a library of accessible, multilingual content that keeps delivering value across your audience.
Live AI translation and captioning converts a speaker's spoken words into real-time captions, translated subtitles, or translated audio, delivered instantly to attendees during a live session. It lets people follow a presentation in the language they prefer as it happens.
Yes. Wordly serves in-person, virtual, and hybrid audiences from a single setup. It can connect to the room audio for on-site attendees and to your streaming or hybrid platform for remote participants at the same time.
No special hardware is needed. Attendees join on a device they already have, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or through the Wordly app, then choose their language.
Attendees open a link or scan a QR code, or use the Wordly app, select their preferred language, and immediately see captions or subtitles or hear translated audio for that session.
Yes. Wordly supports custom glossaries so speaker names, product names, acronyms, and industry-specific terms are handled the way your audience expects. Glossaries are created as part of pre-event setup.
Wordly includes pre-event setup, configuration, and testing ahead of the program, and glossary creation is completed before doors open. Engaging early gives the team time to prepare and test everything for your specific agenda.
Yes. A single Wordly setup can cover a mainstage plus many simultaneous breakout rooms across a multi-day agenda. Wordly has powered events with hundreds of concurrent sessions.
Yes. On-site configuration connects Wordly to the room audio, streaming, or hybrid platform, and the team tests the connection before sessions begin.
Yes. Wordly supports dozens of languages and has powered international conferences that draw attendees from many countries, including events in Europe. Organizers commonly offer a dozen or more languages at one event.
Every event includes live support throughout the program, so there is a dedicated team accountable for a smooth experience while sessions are running, in addition to pre-event setup and on-site testing.
If your audience is global, multilingual, or simply expects an inclusive experience, live AI translation and captions are the most practical way to meet that expectation at scale.
The teams already doing this are not experimenting. They are the leading organizations in the events industry, running their biggest programs on Wordly and coming back for the next one. Wordly handles the language access, the setup, the on-site testing, and the live support, so you can focus on the program itself.
The best next step is to talk through your specific event, its size, session count, formats, and the languages your audience needs, and see exactly how Wordly would support it.
