Multilingual from minute one: the HIGH 5 conference

Conferences are where cross-border relationships and deals begin. But value only changes hands if the audience understands the room in real time — and at an international forum like HIGH 5, the room speaks several languages at once.

Traditional interpretation strains to keep up: it’s expensive, it needs booths and headsets, and it rarely covers every session, every panel and every language a delegate list represents. Panels and open discussion don’t pause while someone catches up.

HIGH 5 ran as a multi-session forum — from a technology investment roundtable, where a panel of academics, association leaders and investors led a discussion in front of more than a hundred delegates, through to sessions on new-energy development, elderly care and wellness. With Orato Flow, live captions reached every seat, so each delegate could follow the room in their own language from the opening remarks onward — no waiting for a summary, no scramble for headsets.

On the room’s main screen, Orato Flow put the source speech and its translation side by side, so the whole room read along together in two languages at once as the moderator closed one session and set up the next. Housekeeping, transitions and technical discussion all stayed clear between sessions.

Delegates followed the room in their own language from the first minute — and the organisers ran a multilingual, multi-session conference without booths, headsets, or a booked interpreter for every panel.

A full, multi-topic agenda stayed accessible, and the conference felt multilingual by default, not as an add-on.
