Enhancing Global Collaboration at Medical Conferences with EventCAT’s AI Translation
Overcoming Language Barriers at SIPS 2025
The Songdo International Proctology Symposium (SIPS 2025), held in Seoul, Korea, brought together top international experts specializing in anorectal fistula and proctology. With 38 speakers from countries including the USA, Netherlands, Japan, and Germany, the event highlighted cutting-edge treatments and complex case studies. However, the highly specialized medical vocabulary presented significant communication challenges among the diverse audience.
Real-Time AI Subtitles for Seamless Medical Discussions
To ensure smooth communication, SIPS 2025 implemented EventCAT, XL8’s AI-powered real-time translation solution. EventCAT provided instant subtitles in both English and Korean—the symposium’s official languages—displayed alongside the presentation screens. This allowed every participant to fully engage with the masterclass sessions, panel discussions, and groundbreaking research presentations, regardless of their native language.
Supporting Specialized Medical Content with Glossary-Enhanced Translation
Given the highly technical nature of the symposium’s content—covering complex fistula treatments, Crohn’s disease management, and surgical techniques—accurate translation was crucial. EventCAT rose to the challenge by utilizing its glossary feature, ensuring precise translation of critical medical terminology, speaker-specific phrases, and proper names.
By learning from pre-provided presentation materials and custom glossary entries, EventCAT adapted to each session's unique vocabulary, delivering real-time translations that maintained medical accuracy and clarity.
