Kenes Group, a global meetings and events organiser, is the winner of
the 2022 IAPCO Innovation Award for its Unlok Education platform which
is a visionary online educational platform for healthcare professionals.
Unlok Education is an AI-powered video library that integrates several
technologies into an easy-to-navigate, cross-specialities learning
space. The platform allows healthcare professionals to access Continuing
Medical Education (CME), the Global Education of Medicine and Science,
and other leading medical organisations.
The announcement was made at the gala awards evening last week at
IMEX Frankfurt. The IAPCO Innovation Award is one of three Driving
Excellence Awards given by IAPCO every year where the association seeks
nominations from across its member community.
The Innovation Award judges selected Unlok Education as the most
innovative new product or service in the meetings and events industry in
2022 from the nominations submitted. The award is presented annually to
the organisation that has made the most significant contribution to the
advancement of the meetings and events industry.
Audrey Alloul, chief digital officer, heads up the recently created
Digital Department at Kenes and is responsible for the development of
Unlok Education. She has been part of Kenes for over 17 years holding
several leadership positions.
Unlok Education was created in response to the challenges posed by
the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the cancellation or postponement of
many in-person medical congresses. Unlok Education uses algorithm-based
matching systems and artificial intelligence to help the knowledge
exchange between users, and between users and speakers. It automatically
generates captions and translations to 120 different languages,
identifies highlights of keynotes in the speakers' speech, and
recommends similar content to create personalised CME-accredited
learning programmes based on users' searches.
The platform is available in English, Spanish, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese. More languages will be
available soon.
