Interprefy launches Media Hub for post-event content

Interprefy has launched Media Hub, a platform for managing multilingual content after events. It is aimed at international event teams.

The Zurich-based company says the service gives customers a single location for recordings, transcripts, captions, summaries and multilingual audio generated during events. It is available worldwide as part of Interprefy's event services.

Media Hub enters a market where organisers are under pressure to show a return on event spending after the live programme ends. Interprefy cited industry research showing that content creation remains a priority for event organisers and that many event marketers view post-event distribution as important to long-term return on investment.

Its pitch is that material created during live events often becomes difficult to reuse because files are scattered across different systems and storage locations. That can slow editing and distribution when organisers want to maintain audience interest after sessions end.

What it does

According to Interprefy, Media Hub stores event content for 12 months and gives users direct access through a secure link. Users can trim video, adjust caption timing, download multilingual audio and transcripts, and create AI-generated summaries in more than 80 languages.

The system also supports interpretation-only and floor-filled audio files, alongside final videos with selected audio and burned-in captions. This puts editing and repurposing tools alongside the original event assets, rather than requiring teams to move between separate platforms.

Interprefy focuses on multilingual event technology and services, including remote simultaneous interpretation, live captions, subtitles and AI-based speech translation. Media Hub is the latest addition following wider investment in AI tools for interpretation, transcription and summarisation.

The launch reflects a broader shift in the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions sector, where organisers increasingly treat event sessions as content libraries rather than one-off live experiences. For international events, that also raises practical questions around localisation, turnaround time and how to make material available in multiple languages after the event ends.

Oddmund Braaten, Chief Executive Officer of Interprefy, outlined the company's view of the problem in comments released alongside the launch.

"An event creates valuable multilingual content long after the live conversation has finished. With Media Hub, we're putting that content directly into our customers' hands, so they can access it quickly, adapt it to their needs and keep creating value from every multilingual event," said Oddmund Braaten, Chief Executive Officer of Interprefy.

Market pressure

Interprefy linked the launch to the size and direction of the global events market, arguing that budget scrutiny has increased as organisations seek to extract more value from in-person and hybrid gatherings. In that context, recorded sessions, transcripts and translated materials can become part of marketing, training and communications work after the event.

The emphasis on self-service tools also points to a practical issue for event teams: the need to publish clips, summaries and localised content quickly without relying on separate editing workflows. Bringing storage, access and editing into one system could help reduce the delay between a live session and the release of follow-on material.

Braaten said this matters particularly for organisations running international events.

"The live event is only one part of the value organisations can create from bringing people together. A keynote, panel discussion or presentation can continue to engage audiences long after the event, but only if teams can quickly turn those conversations into content people can actually access and use. For international events, that also means thinking beyond the language of the original session. If organisations invest in making an event accessible to multilingual audiences live, there is a real opportunity to carry that inclusivity into the content they produce afterwards. Media Hub is designed to make that process much simpler and help organisations get more lasting value from the content they have already created," said Braaten.

Interprefy says the new service is part of its broader effort to extend multilingual support beyond the live stage of an event. Headquartered in Zurich and with staff across 30 countries, the company provides language support for businesses, governments and international organisations.

Its client base includes large companies and sporting bodies, according to company information, and its services combine professional interpreters with AI-based tools. The latest launch suggests Interprefy sees post-event workflows as a growing area of competition in the event technology market, especially as organisers look for ways to reuse multilingual material across regions and audiences.

"Our focus has always been on removing communication barriers from the live event experience, but those barriers shouldn't reappear once an event is over. We see a real opportunity to help organisations make multilingual content work harder and for longer, while making it easier for teams to reach audiences in the languages they use every day. Media Hub is another step in that direction. As we continue to invest in AI and multilingual event technology, our goal is to make every stage of the event journey, before, during and after the live experience, more accessible, useful and increasingly valuable," said Braaten.
