Summary

In 2021, API management and services platform Sensedia took their annual APIX conference from onsite to hybrid via Hopin, the immersive and engaging event marketing platform. Ease of communication is essential for APIX, and with a global audience, it was essential to have a language offer that would let guests enjoy all of the great content shared. KUDO’s Hopin integration provided interpretation for the event into English, Spanish, and Portuguese enabling guests to easily follow talks and panels by selecting a drop-down language selector embedded directly into Hopin’s platform.

How did we do it?

KUDO clients have the option bring their own interpreters or source interpreters via the KUDO Marketplace for events, meetings, and webinars. For APIX, Sensedia hired their interpreters, which the KUDO team then onboarded to KUDO’s interpreter platform. We also facilitated a mock session to ensure the interpreters were fully trained on the platform.

Once the interpreters were onboarded, accessing their services was easy. With KUDO’s Hopin integration, guests simply had to select the KUDO tab and select the language they wanted to hear via the drop-down language selector. The Sensedia team also had access to their own dedicated technical support specialist to ensure a smooth event.
