WIS 2026: Solving Multilingual Challenges at Global IT Events   

This year's World IT Show (WIS 2026) was a massive global business hub drawing 68,000 attendees from 17 countries. With such diverse participation, including foreign diplomatic envoys, ensuring seamless multilingual communication was a critical challenge. Over three days, EventCAT stepped in with its real-time AI translation and captioning solutions operating a booth and supporting side events, to successfully identify and resolve the complex language barriers of a global event.

Solving Customer Pain Points with Real-Time AI Translation in Event Operations and B2B Meetings

The EventCAT booth was divided into a Live Demo Zone and a Custom Consultation Zone. In the Demo Zone, the booth staff's speech was instantly displayed as real-time captions on the screen, successfully stopping many visitors in their tracks. In the Consultation Zone, continuous networking revealed that different industries have distinctly different expectations for our solution.

'EventCAT Conference': Caught the Eye of Educators and Event Organizers 

When managing multilingual events, the biggest pain point for organizers is "low accessibility" meaning participants cannot immediately check the translations. EventCAT provided a solution 

Audience Convenience: No app installation required. Attendees can easily access the live caption page just by scanning a QR code on the venue screen.

Operator Convenience: With EventCAT Conference 2.0’s highly intuitive, user-customized UI, anyone from professors to event staff, can easily create multilingual caption sessions.

'EventCAT Online Meeting': Compatible with Existing Platforms for Global Meetings 

Professionals who frequently have meetings with overseas buyers focused on two factors: "Compatibility" with existing online meeting platforms and "Translation Accuracy." Therefore, we highlighted EventCAT's ability to seamlessly integrate with familiar platforms like Google Meet and Zoom without any separate app installations.

Q. How do participants view real-time translated captions during an EventCAT online meeting? 

1. When the meeting host invites the EventCAT AI Interpreter, a URL is automatically shared in the chat. Both the host and participants can easily view the real-time captions through that link.

Additionally, we presented our "Glossary" feature as the solution for professional translation accuracy. By explaining that frequently used product names or highly specialized industry terms can be translated flawlessly using this feature, we strongly resonated with professionals in the B2B sector.

Real-Time AI Captions in Action at World IT Show Side Events

EventCAT successfully supported knowledge exchange at two core WIS 2026 side events by broadcasting real-time Korean-English captions on the venue screens.

• 'Global ICT Conference': We provided mobile QR codes alongside the screen captions. Attendees sitting far from the stage, could view captions on their personal devices. Organizers highly praised for capturing both audience immersion and operational convenience.

• 'K-Entertech Global Summit': We broadcasted real-time Korean-English captions, for specialized sessions on K-content technology trends delivered by international speakers from Singapore, the UK. Through our captions, all insights were perfectly delivered to the attendees.

Helping Exhibitors Go Global: EventCAT Delivers Real-Time Translation And Captions At WIS 2026.

The EventCAT team visited pre-registered IT companies and university coalition booths to film short promotional videos for free.

We took the Korean introductions spoken by booth representatives and applied EventCAT’s caption overlay feature to add real-time English subtitles. This resulted in highly polished videos ready for global promotional use. Through this event, we proved that EventCAT is a practical solution that actively aids companies in their successful overseas expansion.

Three Answers EventCAT Found at WIS 2026

Over the three days on-site, the answers we found to breaking language barriers summarize into three core points:

1. Accessibility: Breaking down language barriers for the audience effortlessly with just a QR code scan (no app needed).

2. Compatibility: Resolving business friction through seamless integration with existing online meeting platforms and customized glossaries.

3. Scalability: Partnering to help exhibitors expand globally via real-time English-captioned Shorts.

The Perfection of a Global Event Lies in "How Naturally People Communicated"

Ultimately, the standard for a successful global event comes down to:

"How naturally did people communicate?"

Recently, at global IT events and international conferences, it has become crucial to provide a communication environment that considers more than just basic translation functions. It must include:

• Participant accessibility

• Real-time multilingual operations

• Technical terminology accuracy

• Online and offline integration

• Global content scalability

EventCAT supports real-time AI interpretation and captioning environments not only at World IT Show 2026 but at various global events and international conferences.
