World Coffee Leaders Forum 2024 Goes Multilingual with EventCAT AI

The World Coffee Leaders Forum (WCLF 2024), held at COEX in Seoul from November 6 to 9, 2024, was an international event where representatives from 77 countries and more than 5,000 coffee experts gathered to discuss the future of the coffee industry. At this event, which was broadcast live online on YouTube, XL8's AI multi-language simultaneous interpretation subtitling solution, EventCAT , provided lectures and sessions from global speakers with real-time translated subtitles to help participants participate and immerse themselves in the event without language barriers.

In WCLF 2024, real-time AI interpretation subtitles were provided via EventCAT. EventCAT supports more than 40 languages, but in this forum, real-time translation was carried out into two languages according to the participants' main languages. Attendees at the COEX offline event were able to check the subtitles on a large screen, and online viewers were able to easily access the latest trends and insights in the coffee industry without language barriers by watching real-time translated subtitles broadcast live on YouTube. Various sessions were held at this forum focusing on “business,” “culture,” and “environment,” and in particular, the keynote speech “Designing Diversity in the Coffee Industry” introduced new perspectives and innovative strategies on the global coffee market. Speakers working in various fields of the coffee industry also had in-depth discussions on topics such as the branding and aesthetics of the luxury coffee market, innovation for sustainable coffee production, advanced coffee science and the latest research, growth strategies of the specialty coffee industry, and Brazil's role in global coffee production.

The WCLF Organizing Committee introduced XL8's AI multi-language simultaneous interpretation subtitling solution, EventCAT, to make it easier for participants to understand and immerse themselves in the event. EventCAT provided audience-tailored language subtitles for on-site and online audiences with easier usability and more efficient cost than providing interpretation through existing simultaneous interpretation booths, helping participants accurately grasp the core content of the forum through real-time translated captions anywhere.

EventCAT is a simultaneous interpretation subtitling solution for broadcasts, lectures, global events, and international conferences.

This year, WCLF 2024 supported the smooth running of the event with seamless real-time communication between global speakers and audiences using different languages, and the smooth integration of EventCAT real-time interpretation subtitles due to the characteristics of the event being held and broadcast simultaneously online and offline. As the coffee industry continues to grow and global cooperation becomes more important, international forums such as WCLF serve as hubs for innovation and communication. The voices of experts leading the future of the coffee industry were able to be conveyed more clearly and accurately with XL8's EventCAT real-time interpretation subtitles.

EventCAT is redefining the standard for multilingual communication at global events such as global conferences and seminars. EventCAT, which can easily immerse a global audience with real-time translation, support for over 40 languages, and simple settings, has become an essential solution for successfully hosting global events by eliminating language barriers not only in the AI and tech fields, but also in various fields such as bio, healthcare, and climate change.
