Dell runs several large-scale events – in-person and virtual – each year for staff, partners, and customers all over the world. One of the challenges is to provide a consistent language experience for all attendees and participants. From invites, web pages, on-site/remote interpreting, and subtitling through to signage and post-event surveys – each touchpoint must be understood by the whole global audience.
Key Takeaways
- Focus on a consistent, end-to-end journey and language experience
- Consider globalization at the early planning stages
- Advocate for your audience! Remember pre and post-event material and provide on-site and online support
- Build trust. Having a shared understanding of goals leads to a successful event!
