At Kenes, we believe that the key to a successful event is creating a seamless and engaging experience for attendees from start to finish. As the events industry rapidly evolves, so do the expectations of participants. Today’s attendees demand more than just information -they seek experiences that are effortless, enjoyable, and memorable. Technology plays a critical role in meeting these demands, not just by streamlining event logistics but by transforming how content is delivered, interacted with, and shared. By embracing AI innovations, Kenes ensures that every aspect of an event – from registration to session delivery and post-event engagement – is optimized for maximum attendee satisfaction.
Streamlined Registration and Badge Printing
The first impression of any event sets the tone. That’s why Kenes has reimagined the registration process to be as swift and seamless as possible. Say goodbye to frustrating queues! Our onsite kiosks, powered by facial recognition, print badges instantly. For even greater convenience, attendees can use the Congress App for AI-powered badge printing, getting them into the event faster and ready to engage.
“Our goal has always been to reduce friction for attendees from the moment they arrive,” explains Uzi Drori, CIO, Kenes Group. “By leveraging facial recognition and self-service options, we make the registration process incredibly efficient, freeing up delegates to focus on what truly matters: learning and networking.”
Real-Time, AI-Powered Content Accessibility
Kenes is transforming how attendees engage with event content, ensuring everyone has access, regardless of language or schedule. Kenes AI Translations deliver real-time translations and text-to-speech for live sessions, instantly removing language barriers and opening content to a truly global audience. Missed a vital presentation? Our Session AI Summaries provide concise, accurate overviews. And for continued learning on the go, our AI Podcast tool converts session transcripts into engaging podcasts, available anytime, anywhere – even long after the event concludes.
“Technology should enhance how people experience content,” says Uzi Drori. “Whether it’s through real-time translations or AI-generated summaries, our aim is to ensure no delegate is left behind, regardless of language or time constraints.”
Smart Assistance for Attendees and Exhibitors
AI-powered support is available at every step of the event journey. From the moment delegates register, they can rely on our AI-powered Chatbot and Mailbot to instantly answer questions, provide event updates, and assist with logistics such as registration, accommodation, and session schedules. For exhibitors, K-Leads API provides seamless, real-time access to delegate contact information through their own apps, allowing them to capture leads with ease and efficiency.
AI-Powered Abstract and Review Management
For authors and scientific societies, Kenes streamlines the often-complex abstract submission and review process with intelligent AI solutions. Our AI helper for abstract submission assists authors in refining their work, significantly enhancing the quality and likelihood of acceptance. On the review side, the AI abstract review tool supports evaluators by flagging high-quality submissions and leveraging historical data for faster, smarter, and more consistent decisions.
“The use of AI in abstract management is a game-changer,” states Uzi Drori. “It’s not only about improving submission quality but also about using data-driven insights to make the review process more efficient and consistent. It’s an exciting time for the events and scientific communities.”
Setting a New Standard for Event Experiences
At Kenes, we are continually pushing the boundaries of event technology. From faster, more efficient registration to AI-driven content delivery, real-time translations, and smarter event management, we are committed to transforming the attendee experience for everyone. By embracing these innovations, we are not just improving the event process but setting a new standard for engagement, accessibility, and efficiency in the events industry.
