Thursday 8 January 2025, New York — KUDO, the world leader in real-time language accessibility technology, is proud to announce its role as the official language accessibility partner for Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026. This marks the fourth consecutive year the language accessibility company will support the world’s largest exhibition for the professional audiovisual and systems integration industries with real-time speech translation and captions.

At ISE 2026, attendees from all over the world will be able to follow keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions in the language of their choice. By simply scanning a QR code with a smartphone or tablet, attendees will be able to select their preferred audio or subtitle language, enabling truly inclusive access to content across multiple stages and conference rooms without requiring an app download or account creation.

“KUDO’s partner program expanded to 30 global AV, event, and language partners in 2025, as we saw an unprecedented demand for language accessibility,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “We look forward to supporting the impressive content program at ISE again in 2026, and to announcing our exciting product roadmap to AV professionals looking to expand their product offering to include live speech translation technology.”

“As the AV industry evolves, accessibility and inclusion are becoming core elements of event design,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Europe. “KUDO’s solutions allow ISE to deliver a more inclusive experience to our international audience and break down language barriers across the event.”

As well as powering live language accessibility across the show, KUDO will use ISE 2026 as a platform to showcase its latest product updates and major enhancements launching in 2026. Visitors are also invited to visit KUDO’s booth at CS206, to get a first look at new AI-driven capabilities designed to improve translation accuracy, scalability, and user experience across in-person, hybrid, and large-scale event environments.

Additionally, CEO Fardad Zabetian will host a fireside chat titled “One Size Doesn’t Translate All: Why Custom AI Is the Future of Speech Translation” on Wednesday, 4 February at 10:30 AM.
