MPI Partnership To Support DEI Initiatives 

Wordly is partnering with Meetings Professional International (MPI), the largest meeting and  event industry association worldwide, to bring live translation to their 60,000 members across 75  countries. This will enable attendees at both in-person and virtual events to select from 26  translation languages currently available from Wordly.

“MPI is committed to leading and empowering our global meeting and event community to  change the world,” said Jessie States, CMP, CMM, vice president of the MPI Academy. “When  participants experience education in their native languages, they have better learning outcomes  and are better able to apply new skills to their world-changing events. Wordly removes language  barriers that prevent our community from experiencing equitable education and networking  across regions and borders.”

Wordly continues to scale their infrastructure and operations to meet growing demand and  announced passing several major milestones with their AI Translation Platform, including:

• 1.5 Million Translation Users
• 40,000 Translation Sessions

“The research shows there is strong demand for flexible ways to offer live translation and  Wordly is filling the gap with our easy to use, on-demand solution,” said Lakshman Rathnam,  Wordly CEO. “We believe the key to bridging the multilingual meeting language gap is making it  easy and affordable for organizations of all sizes to offer live translation and support their DEI  initiatives.”
