1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an announcement event at a conference announcement module for a conference;
starting a batch time window and batching the received announcement event;
batching subsequent announcement events until the batch window ends; and
streaming each subsequent announcement event sequentially when a number of batched announcement events is below a threshold or a summary of batched announcement events when the number of batched announcement events is at or above the threshold, when the batch time window ends, with a group virtual assistant (GVA).

Abstract
Techniques for announcing conference attendance changes in multiple languages and in a minimally disruptive form are described. An embodiment may include batching announcement events for a time period. The time period may be specific, or may be determined by the length of an ongoing announcement. At the end of the batching time, an announcement of the batched events may be streamed to the conference participants. Multiple batched events may be summarized into one announcement. Multiple access points to a conference may be provided, where each access point provides announcements in a different language. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

9. An article comprising computer-readable storage hardware containing instructions that when executed cause a computing device to:
-
stream an announcement event received during a conference using a group virtual assistant (GVA); batch subsequent announcement events received while the announcement is streaming; and stream each batched announcement event sequentially when a number of batched announcement events is below a threshold or an announcement comprising a summary of batched announcement events, when a previous announcement ends, using the GVA in which the summary comprises one summary announcement event when the number of announcement events is at or above the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a logic device; a memory; a conference announcement module operating on the logic device to; receive an announcement event for a conference; start a batch time window and batch the received announcement event; batch subsequent announcement events received during the batch time window in the memory; summarize the subsequent announcement events when a number of the subsequent announcement events is at or above a threshold; stream, from a group virtual assistant (GVA), a summary of batched announcement events when the batch time window ends; batch subsequent announcement events received while the announcement is taking place; start a batch time window when a new announcement event is received; batch the new announcement event and any subsequent announcement events received during the batch time window; and stream, from the GVA, at least one of each subsequent announcement event sequentially when a number of subsequent announcement events is below the threshold or a summary of batched announcement events when a number of batched announcement events is at or above the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
