AI Simultaneous Interpretation at World Food Tech Forum 2025: How EventCAT Enabled Seamless Global Dialogue
At the World Food Tech Forum 2025 in Seoul, organizers faced a familiar challenge for global conferences: how to enable natural, fast-paced communication between speakers and attendees across languages - without slowing the program or adding operational complexity.
EventCAT AI simultaneous interpretation became the single platform that connected speakers and audiences throughout keynote speeches, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions - proving that multilingual conferences no longer require fragmented tools or traditional interpretation setups.
One Platform for Speakers, Attendees, and Live Q&A
Throughout the forum, both speakers and participants relied on EventCAT to follow presentations and engage in real-time discussions using their own devices via a simple QR code.
Keynotes and panels flowed naturally, and Q&A sessions remained dynamic - without pauses for interpretation handoffs. Attendees could listen, read, and respond immediately, while speakers spoke freely in their preferred language.
Organizers highlighted that EventCAT eliminated the usual friction between presentation and audience interaction, allowing the event to maintain momentum from start to finish.
Speaker Experience: Speed, Accuracy, and Voice Output
Speakers reported particularly strong satisfaction with EventCAT’s tablet-based interface, which displayed real-time translated text and provided AI-generated voice output.
Dominique Ivalde, Head of Fraunhofer IGD, shared his experience after engaging directly with the audience through EventCAT:
“I was genuinely impressed by how fast and accurate the translations were. Being able to interact with the audience in real time - without delay - made the discussion feel natural and engaging.”
For speakers, EventCAT removed the cognitive load of managing language barriers, allowing them to focus entirely on content and dialogue.
From Korean–English to German AI Simultaneous Interpretation in Under a Minute
The forum’s primary language pair was Korean ↔ English, but one moment stood out.
When German AI simultaneous interpretation was unexpectedly requested, without prior notice - EventCAT added German in under one minute, during a short break, without disrupting the schedule.
This flexibility proved critical as global leaders joined discussions, including:
- GFI Founder and Chairman Bruce Friedrich
- A keynote session where Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder is giving a keynote speech at the “World Food Tech Forum 2025”
The ability to add languages mid-event demonstrated how EventCAT adapts to real-world conference dynamics, where agendas evolve and global participation is fluid.
Why Organizers Chose EventCAT
The organizing team emphasized one final advantage: instant bilingual control built directly into the platform.
Whether speakers talked in Korean or English, language switching and bilingual display were immediately accessible, without technical intervention or additional setup. This ease of use was cited as one of the most satisfying aspects of the event operation.
A New Standard for Global Conferences
EventCAT didn’t just translate content - it enabled real conversation.
By supporting AI simultaneous interpretation, real-time subtitles, rapid language expansion, and speaker-friendly interfaces, EventCAT transformed the World Food Tech Forum 2025 into a genuinely global, interactive event.
For conferences where speed, accuracy, and flexibility matter, EventCAT is no longer an alternative - it’s the standard.
