The listing gives Cvent planners a route to human interpretation and AI translation without a separate vendor. The more interesting question is where multilingual support now sits in the stack.
TL;DR: Interprefy has listed on the Cvent App Marketplace under Accessibility. Cvent planners can now add its professional interpreters and AI speech translation, in more than 80 languages, without bolting on a separate supplier. It is a sensible integration play. It also raises fair questions about verification, data governance, and how crowded this category is getting.
Language access is still the thing most organisers sort out last. A separate vendor, found two or three weeks before doors open, wired onto a stack that was signed off months earlier. Interprefy’s listing on the Cvent App Marketplace is an attempt to move that decision earlier, and to put it in the tool planners are already working in.
What has Interprefy actually added?
A listing under the marketplace’s Accessibility category, giving Cvent users two layers of language support without leaving the platform. The first is Remote Simultaneous Interpretation, delivered by Interprefy’s network of professional interpreters, which the company puts at more than 6,000. The second is Interprefy AI, for live speech translation, captions, and subtitles in more than 80 languages at once. Both run across onsite, online, and hybrid events, from a single breakout room to a multi-day conference.
The reach is the headline. Cvent puts its customer base at roughly 30,000 organisations, including 70% of the Fortune 500. A marketplace listing does not put Interprefy in front of all of them, but it does put language access one click closer for planners who would otherwise start a vendor search from scratch.
“Planners running events on Cvent shouldn’t have to leave the platform to solve for language,” said Sue Yardley, Global Head of Corporate Sales and Strategic Partnerships at Interprefy. “Interpretation and AI speech translation become a checkbox in the tools they already use, not a separate vendor search two weeks before an event.”
Why does putting it in-platform matter?
Because most global programmes are multilingual whether the organiser plans for it or not. Interprefy cites the familiar figure that English is the native or second language of only 17% of the world. Run an event for an international audience and a good share of the room is following in their second or third language, if they can follow at all.
The friction has never really been the technology. It is the stitching. Every standalone vendor a planner adds is another contract, another integration, another set of data that lives somewhere the core platform cannot see. In our own State of Marketing Technology in Events 2026 survey, 80% of buy-side respondents rated their event-to-CRM integration as something short of mostly working. Different pipe, same problem. Anything that cuts the number of separate systems a planner has to wire together deserves a look.
Cvent frames the marketplace in those terms. “Without proper integration, the result is disjointed experiences and disconnected data,” said Mike Tenholder, Global Head of Alliance Partnerships at Cvent.
What is worth checking before the checkbox?
Two things.
First, the numbers here are supplier-supplied, and they should be read that way. Interprefy’s interpreter count and language coverage are the company’s own. “More than 80 languages” is a claim about AI translation reach, not a promise of professional-interpreter accuracy across all 80. Machine translation quality still swings hard by language pair and subject matter. For sessions where nuance carries risk, legal, medical, investor relations, human interpretation is still doing the work, which Interprefy is upfront about.
Second, data governance. Live speech translation means someone is processing your speakers’ and attendees’ audio in real time, then often storing transcripts and recordings after. For regulated sectors, and for anyone running events under GDPR, the questions are simple and worth asking early: where does that audio go, who processes it, and what happens to the transcripts afterwards. That is a conversation to have before the listing goes in the plan, not after.
Is Interprefy the only option here?
No, and that is worth saying plainly. The marketplace’s Accessibility category already carries other captioning and translation providers. Verbit listed there back in 2024, for one. The category is filling up, which is good for planners and means a listing on its own is not much of a moat. Being inside the platform helps discovery. It does not win the buying decision.
The useful shift is not any single vendor’s listing. It is that language access is starting to be treated as part of the event tech stack rather than a late add-on. For anyone running a genuinely international programme, and ETL’s own audience spans more than 40 countries, that is overdue.
