Why is Real-Time AI Captioning Essential for Economic Forums? Inside the Maeil Business TV Launch Forum

Creating a Forum Where Every Attendee Comprehends the Same Information 

The annual Launch Forum, hosted by Maeil Business TV, serves as a premier platform where domestic and international economic and industry experts, alongside corporate executives, gather to discuss pivotal industry issues and future strategies. This year’s event once again drew a diverse group of corporations, institutions, and researchers for a series of presentations and panel discussions covering the broader economy and major industries.

At high-stakes, specialized forums like this, there is an element just as crucial as inviting high-caliber speakers: creating an environment where every single attendee can follow and fully comprehend the presentations without missing a beat.

Forums focused on economics and industry are often characterized by a heavy use of technical jargon and a fast-paced presentation style. Consequently, attendees frequently experience situations where they can hear the speaker's voice but miss the core takeaways, or struggle to keep up with the rapid flow of crucial arguments during heated panel discussions.

This is precisely why a growing number of forums and conferences are prioritizing the integration of real-time captioning today.

Why Information Accessibility Matters in Economic and Industry Forums 

At large-scale forums, attendees come from widely diverse backgrounds and varying levels of experience. 

While some participants are seasoned industry experts, others may be encountering the topic for the very first time. Furthermore, depending on seating locations or the onsite audio environment, some attendees may find it challenging to clearly hear and follow the presentations.

Particularly in economics and industry forums, the following factors can significantly hinder attendee comprehension:

• Fast-paced presentations

• Complex regulatory, policy, and industry jargon

• Overlapping or rapid dialogue among multiple speakers during panel discussions

• Presentations heavily centered around complex numbers and data

In such environments, relying solely on audio delivery has clear limitations.

Real-time captioning serves as a vital tool for information accessibility. By providing a simultaneous text stream of the speaker’s words, it ensures that all participants can stay on track and grasp the content completely without missing key points.

How EventCAT Operated at the Maeil Business TV Launch Forum 

At this forum, EventCAT’s real-time AI captioning solution was deployed in two distinct ways: 

1. Real-Time Captioning on the Venue’s Large Main Screens 

The speakers' voices were translated into text in real time and displayed directly on the large main screens inside the event hall.

This allowed attendees to listen to the presentations while simultaneously verifying the content via captions, making it much easier to digest the complex data and technical jargon frequently used in the economic and industry sectors.

Ultimately, the real-time captioning served as an excellent supportive tool boosting attendee comprehension significantly without disrupting the natural flow of the presentations.

2. Mobile Captions via QR Codes 

For this event, a mobile captioning service utilizing QR codes was deployed alongside the main screens.

Without needing to install any separate apps, attendees could simply scan a QR code to view the real-time captions directly on their smartphones.

In large-scale venues, screen readability can often vary depending on seating locations. By providing these mobile captions, attendees were able to access the exact same information regardless of where they were seated.

This approach significantly enhanced attendee convenience while effectively bridging the information gap that can occur in large event halls.

A Consistent Information Experience for Every Seat 

At large-scale forums, the event experience can differ significantly between the front and back rows. If screens are difficult to see or key presentation moments are missed, attendee engagement naturally drops.

At this year's Maeil Business TV Launch Forum, the simultaneous deployment of venue screens and mobile captions allowed participants to access information in the way that best suited their immediate environment.

This goes beyond mere convenience; it is highly meaningful because it establishes an operational ecosystem where every single attendee can thoroughly understand and align on the exact same content.

A New Standard in Forum Operations: Real-Time Information Accessibility 

At recent forums and conferences, delivering identical information to all participants—regardless of their language, seating location, or audio environment has emerged as a critical operational element.

Real-time captioning is no longer just a feature that displays presentations on a screen. Instead, it serves as an essential communication infrastructure, ensuring attendees do not miss key takeaways and can stay fully engaged in presentations and discussions.

This Maeil Business TV Launch Forum case study perfectly demonstrates how AI real-time captioning can be utilized as a powerful operational tool to elevate attendee experiences and maximize information accessibility.

EventCAT has consistently built strong industry trust by delivering seamless real-time translation captions at prestigious global forums and international events, including the Maeil Business Newspaper 60th Anniversary Ceremony, GEEF 2026 (Global Engagement & Empowerment Forum), and the World FoodTech Forum 2025.
