We’re excited to share that Blaze Streaming Media and Volo have been featured by Event Tech Live in its 2026 Event Technology Awards shortlisted spotlight series.

Written by Adam Parry and published October 8, the feature explores how Blaze and its Volo platform are helping event organizers create more accessible, connected conference experiences.

With seven shortlist places, including the People’s Choice Award, the recognition highlights our continued commitment to innovation in live event production, accessibility, and audience engagement.

The article takes a closer look at Volo’s integrated capabilities, including live captions, multilingual translation, assistive listening, Overflow Anywhere™, and AI Session reCaps™—all accessible through a simple QR code on attendees’ own devices.

It also highlights real-world applications at Black Hat USA, GDC Festival of Gaming, and Data Center World, demonstrating how our technology helps audiences stay connected to conference content, even when sessions reach capacity.
