From Summarization to Intelligence: The Evolution of Snapsight

When we first launched Snapsight, our mission was clear: make event content more accessible through real-time summaries, key takeaways, and idea clouds. We wanted to solve the fundamental challenge that event professionals face – how to capture and distill valuable insights from hours of presentations and discussions.

What began as a summarization tool has evolved into something much more profound. Today, I’m excited to announce Snapsight 2.0 – not just an update, but a complete reimagining of what’s possible in event content intelligence.

Our Evolution: Guided by Your Needs

Our journey toward 2.0 wasn’t mapped out from day one – it was shaped by countless conversations with event professionals, association leaders, and AV teams around the world. As we deployed Snapsight at events of increasing scale and complexity, patterns emerged:

Events were becoming more global, with diverse audiences speaking dozens of languages
Content was expanding beyond live sessions to include on-demand and pre-recorded material
Organizers needed tools to manage hundreds of sessions efficiently
The value of event content extended far beyond the event itself

These insights pushed us to think bigger. What if Snapsight could do more than summarize? What if it could truly understand content, make it universally accessible, and unlock insights that would otherwise remain hidden?

Beyond Summarization: The Rise of Content Intelligence

Content summarization answers the question: “What was said?” Content intelligence answers much more powerful questions:

“What does it mean?”
“How does it connect to other ideas?”
“What patterns are emerging across all sessions?”
“How can we make this content accessible to everyone?”

This shift represents the core of Snapsight 2.0. We’re no longer just capturing and summarizing content – we’re making it intelligent, accessible, and personalized in ways that weren’t possible before.

What's New in Snapsight 2.0

Our Q1 2025 release brings this vision to life through several transformative features:

Live Transcription & Translation

Our most-requested feature is finally here, supporting an industry-leading 86 attendee languages and 75 speaker languages. With over 6,300 language pairs available, we’re removing language barriers and making events truly global. Attendees can follow along with real-time captions in their preferred language, while speakers’ words are captured and translated instantly.

Completely Revamped Admin Dashboard

Built for scale, our new dashboard allows event organizers to easily manage hundreds of sessions with enhanced search and filtering. You can now self-configure your project time zone for accurate scheduling across global audiences, and whitelist your website to embed Snapsight’s idea clouds and key takeaways directly into your own platforms.

Custom Vocabulary Support

For specialized fields like medicine, science, or niche industries, standard vocabulary often falls short. Our new custom vocabulary feature allows you to upload glossaries with up to 250 specialized terms per project, dramatically improving transcription accuracy and enhancing AI-generated insights.

On-Demand Content Processing

Missed capturing a session live? Simply upload video, audio, or transcript files for sessions not captured live and generate the same powerful key takeaways and idea clouds for all your content, ensuring complete coverage of your entire event.

Event-Level Idea Cloud

One of our most exciting innovations is the enhanced event-level idea cloud. This visual representation captures key themes discussed across your entire event, providing a dynamic, evolving visual as your event progresses that can be shared via direct link or embedded in your websites and post-event communications.

The Impact: Transforming Event Experiences

These advancements create tangible benefits for everyone involved in your event:

For Organizers: Complete control over content, simplified management of even the largest events, and powerful tools to extend the value of event content before, during, and after the live experience.
For Attendees: A more accessible, personalized experience where language is no longer a barrier, and key insights are easy to discover and revisit.
For Speakers: Greater reach and impact as their ideas transcend language limitations and connect with the broader themes of the event.
For Event Hosts: Enhanced value proposition and ROI as content becomes a lasting, accessible asset rather than a fleeting experience.

The Technology Behind Snapsight 2.0

While I won’t delve too deeply into the technical details, it’s worth noting that Snapsight 2.0 represents a significant advancement in how we process and understand event content. Our enhanced AI models now recognize specialized terminology, understand contextual relationships between ideas, and generate more accurate and insightful summaries. The system continuously improves as it processes more content, becoming increasingly attuned to the specific language and concepts of different industries and event types. This foundation of advanced AI, combined with our robust language capabilities, creates a platform that truly understands your event content – not just the words, but the meaning and connections behind them.

Early Adopters: Success Stories

We’ve been fortunate to work with some incredible partners as we’ve developed these new capabilities:

At ICCA Congress 2024, our event-level idea cloud became a central feature of the event experience, allowing attendees to visualize how discussions evolved throughout the multi-day conference.

Several medical associations have already implemented our custom vocabulary feature, dramatically improving the accuracy of transcription and summaries for highly technical presentations.

Global corporations are using our multilingual capabilities to make internal events accessible to team members across different regions and language backgrounds.

What's Next for Snapsight

While this release represents a major milestone, we’re just getting started. Our roadmap includes:

Enhanced analytics capabilities
More customization options for idea clouds
Additional integration opportunities with popular event platforms

We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in event content intelligence, guided by our vision of making valuable knowledge accessible to everyone, regardless of language or format.

Join Us on This Journey

Snapsight 2.0 represents more than just a product update – it’s a step toward a future where events transcend their traditional limitations of time, space, and language.

We’re working closely with AV teams, event organizers, and associations to continuously refine our platform. Your needs and feedback continue to shape our direction.

If you’re ready to experience the difference between content summarization and true content intelligence, I invite you to log in to your Snapsight account today and explore these new features.
