Networking rooms
Networking where language is not a barrier
Meeting rooms next to the main stage, each with its own interpreter. Guests pick a room and a language and talk to each other in the browser
How it works
Like meeting rooms at a venue, with an interpreter inside
-
1
Pick a room
Next to the main stage the event has meeting rooms: partner meetings, investors, B2B. Guests see the list and the languages of each room
-
2
Pick your language
Rooms with an interpreter show their language pair. Guests switch to their channel, the same way listeners do on the main stage
-
3
Talk
Guests speak in their own language. The interpreter in the room carries it to the others, so the conversation goes both ways
What it replaces
Networking is where international events lose people
-
Breakout rooms split people by language
Random rooms in a video call put a buyer from Jakarta next to a supplier from Osaka with no shared language. The talk ends in a minute
-
Interpretation stops at the main stage
The keynote is interpreted, then the networking part starts and foreign guests drop off. That is the part sponsors pay for
-
Two tools, two links, two logins
One platform for the sessions, another for networking. Guests get lost between them and interpreters cannot follow
