No interpreter on site - all in home office

With the first digital kick-off meeting, Siegenia had already successfully started a forward-looking year in January. At the annual International Sales Meeting, however, new challenges had to be faced.

Participants from 8 language areas were to be provided with as much information as possible. At the same information exchange throughout the barriers of different languages should be accomplished. no travelling and no direct contact involved

The Solution

An 8-language stream with questions add-on and live connections to representatives from each language area.

400 participants from 28 countries were reached in one day out of the Siegenia headquarters in Wilnsdorf. At the end of the day, no questions remained unanswered because the participants were able to ask questions in their national language throughout the whole event and the various managers were available to answer questions live in the stream.

The main language of the event was German and there was simultaneous translation into English, French, Russian, Italian, Polish, Hungarian and Chinese. Due to the corona regulation, the necessary translators could not be on site but were remotely connected to your home office workstations and were still able to deliver the translations without latency.

After logging in to the event portal, the participants were forwarded directly to the language room in their national language. Here they could follow the stream and presentation parallel in one language. Of course, they could also ask questions in their own language.

Those who preferred to follow the stream in a different language could of course also do so by simply changing the room using the "change language" button and listen to the original stream, for example.

The event was wrapped up with a short survey at the end. Participants were able to rank the event by giving it a star rating. As expected - a complete success!
