Conferences thrive on collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and community. But when events draw participants from dozens, or even hundreds of countries, language barriers can limit engagement. Attendees may miss critical insights, struggle to connect with peers, or feel excluded from the conversation.
That’s why translation services for conferences are becoming a must-have. By offering real-time multilingual support, organizers can:
Case studies from the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) and the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) highlight how AI translation is transforming global conferences.
The EAO Annual Congress brings together 4,000–5,000 implant dentistry professionals from more than 80 countries. With so many languages spoken: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and more, providing inclusive communication was a challenge.
Previously, EAO relied on costly, single-language interpreters. In 2023, they partnered with Wordly to provide real-time translation in 25 languages at their Berlin joint congress. Attendees accessed translations on their own devices with a simple QR code, eliminating the need for headsets or equipment.
Results:
EAO continued with Wordly at its 2024 Milan Congress and is expanding to 60+ languages at its 2025 Monaco event.

The World Congress of Nephrology (WCN), hosted by ISN, welcomes more than 4,500 kidney care professionals from 130 countries. With 240+ speakers presenting in dozens of languages, inclusivity was essential. Traditional interpretation simply couldn’t scale to match the event’s global scope.
In 2024, ISN used Wordly to provide AI captioning and translation at WCN Buenos Aires. Attendees accessed translations instantly by scanning a QR code on their smartphones. A custom glossary ensured accurate recognition of specialized nephrology terms and speaker names.

AI-powered translation services are a game-changer for conferences of every size. They eliminate the need for interpreters, expensive headsets, or pre-scheduled language support. Instead, they provide:
By delivering accurate, real-time translations, AI ensures that knowledge flows freely across borders.
From dental congresses to global medical meetings, conference translation services deliver
When events embrace AI-powered translation, they don’t just remove barriers – they create stronger, more connected communities.
Translation services for conferences ensure all attendees can fully participate, regardless of their native language. They help conference organizers welcome international attendees, extend reach into new geographic markets, and deliver an inclusive experience that reflects the global nature of modern professional communities.
AI translation services scale across dozens of languages simultaneously, reduce costs, and remove equipment needs. Where a single human interpreter can only translate one language at a time and typically costs hundreds to thousands of dollars per day, AI tools like Wordly translate the same session into many languages at once, making multilingual conferences practical for events of any size.
Modern AI translation supports dozens of languages, with new languages added regularly. Wordly supports the most-requested languages across international conferences, including Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, and many more, with custom glossary support for industry-specific vocabulary, brand names, and technical terminology.
Yes. AI translation services work across in-person, hybrid, and virtual conference formats. Attendees join via QR code (in-person), shared link (virtual), or through direct integration with meeting platforms like Zoom, Teams, Webex, and Cvent, following along on any device without app downloads or account creation.
Yes. AI translation services can be used in main sessions, keynotes, breakouts, workshops, networking spaces, and even one-on-one meetings, with the same platform running across multiple concurrent sessions at large conferences. This eliminates the constraint of only being able to offer interpretation for select sessions due to interpreter availability.
Attendees scan a QR code displayed at the conference or click a shared link, select their preferred language, and follow along on their own phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download is required, no account creation is needed, and attendees can switch languages at any time during the session.
AI translation can be deployed in minutes. Unlike traditional interpretation, which typically requires booking interpreters weeks or months in advance, AI platforms let organizers connect a microphone, share a join link with attendees, and start translating immediately, making it practical for both major annual conferences and last-minute event additions.
AI translation works effectively for conferences of any size, from small workshops with 20 attendees to global congresses with thousands. Wordly has supported conferences ranging from local chapter meetings to major international events like the EAO Annual Congress (4,000-5,000 attendees) and the World Congress of Nephrology (4,500+ attendees from 130 countries).
Language should never prevent ideas from being shared. By adopting modern translation services for conferences, organizers can ensure every attendee has equal access to content, regardless of their native language.
The EAO and ISN case studies show the power of AI translation to transform conferences into inclusive, globally connected experiences.
