Client Success: Roche's two-day, five-language event

Client Success Story

The Setup:

Roche AG is a multinational Swiss healthcare company that operates worldwide. For a two-day event on a highly specialized topic, the Roche event team needed to ensure effective communication. The venue had limited space, but several break-out sessions were planned in addition to the main plenary presentations. Due to the highly technical topic and international audience, interpretation services were essential. Traditional interpreting services were not only cost prohibitive, but more importantly, not feasible due to the space required for interpreter booths for five languages in the main hall and each of the three break-out rooms.

The Approach:

In close cooperation with the event producer APS, Interprenet, together with our technology partner Interprefy, handled the project management. This ensured that all technical and logistical requirements were met. Interprenet provided conference interpreters with expertise in the pharmaceutical industry delivered via Interprefy's remote simultaneous interpretation technology platform. 

The Result:

Usage was high with attendees listening to interpretation on smartphones. Participants expressed very positive feedback about the ease of use and the interpreting quality.

Languages:

English, French, German, Italian & Spanish
