AI translation in headsets at the first MDNOG conference: what participants said

Over 150 participants followed MDNOG 2026 with AI translation RO ⇄ EN in headsets, PTZ live streaming and AV direction by TMG Events.

On 8–9 October 2026, Digital Park in Chișinău hosted the first MDNOG — Moldova Network Operators Group conference. More than 150 network engineers, telecom operators and IT specialists from Moldova and abroad attended two days of technical talks.

For TMG Events it was a special project: we ran our AI-powered simultaneous translation service at an event of this scale, delivering the translation straight to participants’ headsets.

What we delivered

  • Real-time AI translation RO ⇄ EN. Talks in Romanian were translated into English and vice versa. Participants listened on TMG receivers and headsets, not on their phones.
  • Live streaming with auto-tracking PTZ cameras that follow the speaker on stage.
  • Video and audio direction for the room and the stream.
  • TV prompter for speakers.
  • Receiver distribution and collection by TMG staff.

The challenge: highly technical content

MDNOG is a specialist conference: routing, information security, network infrastructure. The terminology is dense and speakers present fast. Before the event we ran a test on a recording of a previous talk; the organisers listened to the translation and approved the solution.

What organisers and participants said

“During the event, participants used the AI solution to translate the conference content and we didn’t receive a single complaint. I tried a headset myself to see how the translation works. I was very satisfied, especially with the final part of the conference, which was highly technical: the terms were translated very well, without mistakes.”

“With those nifty devices it’s very handy, especially if you don’t speak the language. The AI-driven translation is very good, proper English, very easy to follow. Thank you very much for providing the service. It’s great, I like it.”

— MDNOG participant

“Today I tested an online translation system with a very short delay, just a few seconds. A company representative was talking about information security, correctly but very fast, in English. I didn’t think something like this existed. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend it to everyone. Bravo!”

Why AI translation?

For events with a limited budget or several languages, AI translation is an affordable alternative to classic interpretation. For negotiations, protocol or sensitive content we still recommend professional interpreters, and we’ll help you choose the right option for your event.

Thank you to the MDNOG team for their trust and partnership!
