Wordly Expands Global Presence and Team to Accelerate AI Translation Usage for Events

Inc. 5000 company reports record growth as event planners increasingly embrace AI translation to expand audience reach and engagement.

Los Altos, CA – November 10, 2025 – Wordly, the pioneer in real-time AI translation and captioning, today announced a major expansion of its global team and technology to meet rising demand from clients, including those in the meetings, events, and trade show industry. As organizers increasingly turn to AI to engage larger, more diverse audiences, Wordly has doubled its staff across engineering, product development, and customer success to accelerate innovation and deliver next-generation multilingual experiences.

To support its expanding customer base, Wordly has strengthened its international presence, adding team members across Latin America, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. The expanded global footprint ensures localized sales and support for customers in more than 60 countries.

With more than 5 million users worldwide, Wordly continues to see record growth as organizations adopt its AI translation and captioning solutions to make events more inclusive and accessible. The company now serves more than 4,000 customers across corporate, association, nonprofit, and education sectors. Major events such as The European Association for Osseointegration, IMEX America, and CEATEC are using Wordly to provide real-time translation and captions for keynotes and breakout sessions to expand global reach while lowering costs and simplifying logistics. Reflecting this momentum, Wordly was recognized earlier this year for its growth and innovation with inclusion on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies.

“AI translation is changing what’s possible for events,” said Lakshman Rathnam, Founder and CEO of Wordly. “By expanding our team and global reach, we’re helping organizers welcome attendees from anywhere in the world while making every meeting, conference, and trade show more inclusive and accessible.”

New research highlights how rapid AI translation is reshaping event accessibility and engagement. According to the 2024 Wordly AI Translation Research Report, multilingual meetings and events are becoming the norm:

• 79% of organizers report an increase in attendees whose first language isn’t English.
• 88% say two or more languages are spoken at their events.
• 70% already offer live interpretation or captioning, and 77% plan to expand those services.
• 96% say AI translation delivers higher ROI than human translation, citing benefits such as saving time (64%), reducing costs (60%), and simplifying logistics (54%).
• 95% report that AI translation quality has significantly improved over the past year.

As the event landscape becomes increasingly global and hybrid, AI translation is transforming how audiences connect. Wordly enables organizers to instantly translate sessions, panels, and presentations into 60+ languages without the need for interpreters or special equipment. Attendees can follow every session in their preferred language on their own device, whether attending in person or virtually, creating a more inclusive, engaging experience for all.

“This is an exciting moment for the industry,” added Rathnam. “Event professionals are reimagining what it means to connect global audiences. With AI translation, they’re reaching more people and ensuring everyone can participate and engage.”
