Client testimonial

Heading

“Interactio took away all the problems related to interpretation from our shoulders. It was easy and less expensive than we thought. We certainly had a smooth experience and will do more digital multilingual events in the future.”

Aleksandra Mironiuk, Senior special events associate at Mary Kay Poland

About the event

Mary Kay was looking for a cost-effective and accessible way to move their April conference for 1,500 beauty consultants in Warsaw and Vilnius online. 

As it was one of their first digital events at the beginning of the pandemic, Mary Kay expressed concerns about the user-friendliness and cost of remote simultaneous interpretation. 

Unsure about the user experience, the company considered canceling the event for Lithuanian beauty consultants. 

Interactio stepped in at the right time to assist the organization in their first digital multilingual conference for both Polish and Lithuanian consultants. We provided easy and accessible remote interpretation for attendees and connected Mary Kay’s interpreter team from their home offices.
