Conference Interpreting: For When You Mean Business

At Conference Interpreting, we understand that a conference is ultimately about clarity: clarity of presentation and clarity of ideas.

More important, we know that clarity begins with language, and toward that end we have been providing top-of-the-line language services for more than 8 years.

Our interpreters are adept at both consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting, and are as comfortable in the corner office as the convention center.

Whatever the interpreting situation, we have the solution to fit your needs.

Consecutive Interpreting

Consecutive interpreting is the type of interpreting used primarily for small groups and in one-on-one situations: interviews; parent-teacher conferences; depositions; individual consultations.

It’s called “consecutive” because it works on an I-go/you-go dynamic: the speaker says something; the interpreter translates it; the listener responds; the interpreter translates it, etc.

Simultaneous Interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting, by contrast, is more often used in larger group settings: conferences, conventions, site tours, seminars.

It’s “simultaneous” because the interpreter translates the spoken word immediately and transmits it to all listeners at once via an electronic interpreting system (transmitter/receiver, microphones, headsets).

At Conference Interpreting, we choose our interpreters not only for their outstanding linguistic skills but also for their sensitivity to the cultural nuances of conducting business in a foreign language.

They don’t just translate words; they translate a world.
