Tuesday 23 December 2025, New York — KUDO, the world leader in real-time language accessibility technology, is excited to announce its renewed technology sponsorship of Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 and Sports World Congress 2026, providing live AI speech translation and real-time captions to make both events more accessible to global audiences.
As the official language accessibility partner for ISE for the fourth consecutive year, KUDO will deliver AI-powered translation and captions across multiple stages, conference rooms, and sessions. Attendees will be able to follow keynotes, panels, and breakout presentations in the language of their choice, simply by scanning a QR code with their smartphone or tablet, then selecting their preferred audio and/or subtitle language.
Running in parallel, Sports World Congress 2026 will benefit from KUDO’s language accessibility technology for the second year, ensuring this high-profile gathering of sports industry leaders, technologists, and innovators can connect without linguistic barriers.
“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with ISE into 2026 and to deepen our engagement with Sports World Congress,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “Language should never be a barrier to understanding cutting-edge ideas in AV or sport tech. Our solution makes every session at both events inclusive, global, and equitable for all attendees, whether they prefer to listen or read in their preferred language.”
“As the AV industry continues to evolve, accessibility and inclusion are becoming core elements of event design,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Europe. “KUDO’s AI-powered language accessibility solutions allow ISE to deliver a more inclusive experience at scale, enabling our international audience to access ideas and innovation without language barriers.”
“At Sports World Congress, we believe in the power of innovation to bring people together,” added Vicenç Rosales, co-founder of Sports World Congress. “KUDO’s live translation reinforces our commitment to inclusivity, enabling every delegate to access content in their own tongue and participate fully in shaping the future of sport.”
KUDO’s platform is designed for simplicity and accessibility: no app download or account creation is required. A QR code displayed in the venue opens a browser window where users can choose their audio and caption language. The technology operates with minimal latency, is fully AI-driven, and uses only a fraction of the bandwidth needed to stream video, making it reliable even over 4G or shared Wi-Fi networks.
Attendees of ISE who would like more information can visit KUDO’s booth at ISE 2026 (CS206) or attend a fireside chat with Fardad Zabetian, KUDO’s CEO, on Wednesday February 4th at 10:30am entitled ‘One Size Doesn’t Translate All: Why Custom AI Is the Future of Speech Translation’. Attendees of Sports World Congress can also meet the KUDO team in the exhibition area to learn more about its rapidly-expanding partner program.
