S02E09: Future of Events for the Language Industry

Last year we saw an unprecedented chaos due to the pandemic which continues to impact many industries. In person events, which was one of the main drivers of business for our colleagues in the on-site interpreting sector, disappeared almost overnight. Companies that depend on this line of business had no choice but to either evolve right away into digital platforms for interpreting or give up.

In this episode of the Translation Company Talk, we talk to Alex Chernenko from Translit to understand the current state of events and what the future looks like. This conversation builds upon what we discussed earlier with Kevin McQuire on this subject. Among many topics we discuss gamification of events, impact of isolation on interpreters, hybrid model of events, new opportunities presented by digital events, interpreter market places, the lag behind AI enabled interpreting, new industries driving multilingual voice in realtime and many others.
