Summary

TEDxTinHau Women is an independently organized TEDx event in Hong Kong dedicated to amplifying women’s voices and ideas that inspire change. To ensure an accessible and inclusive experience for a multilingual audience, the organizers integrated KUDO’s real-time interpretation for Traditional Chinese—a decision that transformed the event and deepened audience engagement.

The Challenge

TEDx events rely heavily on storytelling, emotion, and the nuance of spoken delivery. The team at TEDxTinHau Women needed a language accessibility partner that could:

  • Deliver Traditional Chinese interpretation without interrupting the flow of each talk
  • Preserve nuance, tone, pacing, and emotional resonance
  • Overcome venue complexities and technical hurdles
  • Provide reliable on-site support to manage live translation and AV needs

They wanted an accessible experience that allowed both English and Chinese speakers to fully connect with the talks, a crucial element of the TED mission.
