In June 22, the G7 Culture and Media Ministers Meeting took place in Bonn under the leadership of Claudia Roth. Under the influence of the Ukraine war and the pandemic, important questions from the areas of culture and media were discussed for a day. Due to the global situation at the time of the meeting, the event was planned in advance as a hybrid event. It was expected that not all delegations would be able to travel in person and that individual participants would have to be connected from all over the world. IFBBW was responsible for the overall technical planning as well as the media production and live streams of the G7 Ministers Meeting. Together with our partners from n-systems and Fournell show technique the entire conference technology, video technology and live streaming technology including the required staff was provided.

Interpretation in five languages for ministerial conference and go-live

One of the challenges was the communication between the ministers due to the different languages. Interpreters had to translate into five languages, and not just inside the conference room. The ministers connected live also needed interpretation and translation into their mother tongue or into English. Among others, the Ukrainian Minister of Culture and Media Oleksandr Tkachenko was invited as a guest to the meeting of the G7 ministers and connected live to the G7 meeting via video conference.
