Association Days Europe has successfully reached its twelfth edition and will take place on January 28–31, 2026 in Venice and Padua, Italy, bringing together top decision makers from medical, scientific, and professional associations across Europe to explore trends, forge strategic partnerships, and plan future congresses. And now, the content will be accessible in multiple languages in real time.
As official technology sponsor, KUDO will provide AI-driven live speech translation and captioning throughout the event, enabling attendees from diverse linguistic backgrounds to engage fully with sessions, peer dialogue, and networking opportunities in the language of their choice. This initiative underscores the importance of language accessibility in global congress planning, particularly among organizations shaping the future of scientific meetings and medical research discourse.
