Up to 250 people can join a single meeting. Alternatively, be spontaneous and invite another attendee to simply ‘meet now’. Meetings can be by video or in-person. They are first set in a designated event time zone, with an attendee then able to update the whole event into any time zone of their choosing. Translate Canapii is built for global use. Artificial Intelligence will translate all the text on site to over 70 languages, every attendee can be using a different language if that is what they choose. These AI translations can be overruled by humans at any time, to satisfy the professional translators amongst us. Video streams and calls have transcriptions too, also with in-built translations. For high class events, our partnership with GreenTerp allows for professional human translators to provide alternative audio streams. Sponsor pages Sponsor pages are engaging, content rich and can be self-managed. They show advertisements, videos as well as provide downloadable documentation in all the major formats. They can quickly connect attendees with the sponsor’s team via chat and video meetings. Return on investment can be demonstrated via the vast choice of in-built analytics. Gamification Points drive engagement. Our flexible and customizable gamification tool awards points for watching sessions, participating in polls, sending chat messages, attending meetings and much more. The leadership table can recognize the high achievers, perhaps via offering a discount on the next event, as well as embarrass the under-performers. The most effective incentives can be team prizes that are consistent with the values of the event. For example, a sponsor could plant a tree for every thousand points earned.
