Challenge
Expo 2023 Doha was a global event bringing together participants, visitors, and officials from around the world. With representatives from different cultures and languages, communication posed a significant challenge. The event organizers needed a partner capable of providing seamless translation and interpretation services to facilitate communication and enhance the attendee experience. Ensuring that all written and spoken content was delivered accurately in multiple languages was critical to the event’s success.
Adding to the complexity, Expo 2023 Doha hosted over 100 events, including high-level meetings, symposiums, and VIP tours, each requiring timely and precise interpretation. Internal communications among the multi-national teams were also challenging, given the wide variety of backgrounds involved. Without efficient language services, the event risked miscommunication and delays.
