For conferences and events

Hallway conversations work across languages.

For conference organizers, booth staff, and event volunteers who want every attendee interaction to be substantive.

The problem

Multilingual events typically invest in simultaneous interpretation for the keynote and the panel sessions. The hallway track — the booth conversations, the introductions between attendees, the questions to volunteer staff — is left to whoever happens to share a language. The most valuable part of a conference is often the unscripted conversation, and that's exactly where the language layer breaks down.

What guests experience

  1. Attendee approaches a booth or staff member and starts speaking.
  2. Staff offers an earbud; the conversation runs at normal pace.
  3. The attendee leaves with an actual answer instead of a printed brochure.

Setting it up at your venue

  • One iPhone per booth + a small set of sanitized earbuds in a charging tray.
  • Volunteer staff with metcha pre-installed on their personal phones, if event policy permits.
  • Signage near the registration desk identifying the languages the team can support.

Run a pilot with us

We're working with a small number of venues to shape what metcha looks like in practice. If your conferences and events might benefit, we'd love to talk.
