Tuesday 13 January 2025, New York — KUDO, the world leader in real-time language accessibility technology, announced today that it will provide AI-powered live speech translation and real-time captions for Sports World Congress 2026, supporting global accessibility for this premier gathering of sports industry leaders, technologists, and innovators.
For the second year running, Sports World Congress attendees will benefit from KUDO’s advanced language solutions, enabling delegates to access expert insights, keynote talks, and panel discussions in the language of their choice by simply scanning a QR code and selecting preferred audio or subtitle options. This fully AI-driven experience works without an app or account and delivers reliable translation even on 4G or shared Wi-Fi networks.
“We’re delighted to deepen our engagement with Sports World Congress,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “Language should never be a barrier to participation or understanding, especially in a global forum where industry leaders from every corner of the world come together to shape the future of sport.”
“At Sports World Congress, we believe in the power of innovation to bring people further together,” said Josep Monti, CEO of Sports World Congress. “KUDO’s live translation reinforces our commitment to inclusivity, enabling every delegate to participate fully and engage with content in the language of their choice.”
Attendees of Sports World Congress can find out more about how European stadiums are increasing their global reach and revenue by attending a presentation by Nils de Keyser, Director of Technical Services at KUDO, entitled “The Language of Football: How Custom AI Speech Translation Brings Every Fan & Player Into the Game” on February 3.
