What are people saying about KUDO Global Stage

As a KUDO partner, Géné-Electra has certified operators who ensure the implementation, the explanations during the tests, the flow management during the meeting and the post event reporting. While Kudo allows interpreters to work remotely, it’s usually best to bring them together in an interpretation hub. Our Brussels hub is equipped with all conventional equipment (booths, interpreter desks, headsets), video monitoring and various facilities (printer, parking, etc.) that ensure optimal working conditions. The redundant internet connection and digital equipment allow our technician in charge to ensure that the various audio channels are sent to the platform and the presentations can be shared.

KUDO integration will help vFairs customers get even more value out of the platform. Including features that improve inclusivity allows all attendees and hosts to make meaningful and memorable connections.

Muhammad Younas

CEO | vFairs

The Presence business model is based on interaction in multilingual contexts. Partnering up with KUDO meant that we can continue to satisfy the basic human need to literally meet “face-to-face”, even in a fully online environment. Linking our full-service concept where the customer always comes first to the technological expertise of the KUDO team and the features of the KUDO platform was an obvious choice. Together we offer more than just meeting solutions: we offer peace of mind.
