How EventCAT Powered Real-Time AI Translation at Drone Show Korea 2026 for Over 40,000 Attendees

The drone industry has evolved into a massive, interconnected global ecosystem, integrating AI, defense, mobility, and robotics. As the industry grows more complex, the ultimate barrier at international tech conferences is language. In an environment where advanced technical jargon, multinational speakers, and real-time discussions happen simultaneously, standard translation software simply falls short.

'Drone Show Korea 2026 (DSK 2026),' which welcomed over 40,000 attendees from 318 companies across 23 countries, successfully overcame this language barrier with EventCAT. By providing real-time AI live subtitling and translation services in Korean, English, and Chinese, EventCAT enabled seamless global knowledge exchange and flawless conference operations.

Bridging the Language Gap in High-Tech Global Exchange 

The biggest mission at DSK 2026 was accurately delivering highly specialized technical knowledge from international speakers to over 40,000 attendees. There were two main challenges:

• The Barrier of Technical Jargon: The event was packed with cutting-edge terms like "Agentic AI," "Physical AI," and "GPS Jamming Navigation" that standard translators simply cannot handle.

• Diverse Audience Nationalities: To share insights from global and top-tier domestic companies (IBM, AWS, Korean Air, KAI) with attendees speaking various native languages, real-time multilingual translation was absolutely essential.

EventCAT’s 3 Tailored Strategies for Maximum Conference Immersion 

Going beyond basic translation, EventCAT implemented three customized AI solutions to maximize the efficiency and accuracy of information delivery.

AI Pre-learning to Eliminate Mistranslations 

Before the event, EventCAT’s technicians intensively trained the AI engine using the speakers' presentation materials and industry-specific terminology (Drone, UAM, Defense). Through rehearsals utilizing the Glossary feature, highly specific nouns like "Low-altitude economy" and "Agentic AI" were translated flawlessly in context.

Split-Screen Subtitles for Unobstructed Viewing 

Standard subtitles often overlap and obscure presentation slides. To overcome this, EventCAT the screen exclusively for real-time AI subtitles, EventCAT ensured maximum readability without compromising the speakers' valuable visual aids.

Real-Time Subtitles on Mobile Devices by scanning QR Code

In massive conference halls, the main screen isn't always perfectly visible from every seat. EventCAT placed QR codes throughout the venue, allowing attendees to view real-time subtitles directly on their smartphones with a single scan. Users could customize the subtitle language, font size, and color for an optimal, personalized listening experience.

Can we download the translated subtitle transcripts?  

Yes, EventCAT provides full post-event transcripts. During DSK 2026, an attendee actually requested a copy of the real-time translation transcript on-site proving the exceptionally high quality of EventCAT's AI translation and its value as a reliable information source. 

Delivering precise technical information, ensuring multilingual accessibility, and optimizing the overall attendee experience have become critical elements for successful event operations.
