###### A Boostlingo Case Study

# EvalYouth

## Hosted a virtual conference for 150 participants in 3 languages using Boostlingo Events

### Summary

EvalYouth helps young and emerging evaluators become leaders in their field worldwide. It started in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 2015. They wanted to host a virtual conference for over 150 people in English, Spanish, and French. Boostlingo Events helped them host a six-hour event with ten speakers in these languages using remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI). The platform allowed them to create separate language channels and to save on costs, unlike expensive in-person conference interpretation.

### The Challenge

From 2016 to 2018, EvalYouth aimed to hold international conferences for young evaluators to exchange knowledge and best practices. Engaging as many participants as possible was necessary, and a cost-effective solution for communicating in different languages was a top priority. They chose virtual conferences as the best approach. The main challenge was hosting their first online conference for over 150 global participants in various languages.

### The Solution

EvalYouth used the Boostlingo Events platform to host and simultaneously engage 150 participants in English, Spanish, and French. The platform’s multi-channel interpretation and features built for multilingual participation proved the perfect choice. Boostlingo Events was the right choice with its multi-language support. Their 6-hour event with ten speakers cost less than flying two speakers to a live conference. Offering multiple languages increased engagement by 34%.

> "The success of the event was phenomenal. More than 150 participants were able to participate and interact in three languages. This is a fabulous lesson in efficiency and effectiveness, especially in light of the diverse and rich content the conference offered. "
