What Conference Interpreting Actually Is
Conference interpreting is high-stakes multilingual communication. It is what you book for an AGM, an industry federation annual conference, an international medical or scientific symposium, or an investor briefing with international press attending.
Two modes are used in conference work. Simultaneous is real-time from the booth into a delegate's headset, and it is the default for plenaries, board meetings and panels. Consecutive is turn-taking, and it suits opening addresses, keynotes, courtroom-style hearings and short bilateral meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?
Simultaneous is real-time interpreting from a booth into delegate headsets, used for plenaries, panels and board meetings where the flow of speech cannot stop. Consecutive is turn-taking: the speaker delivers a passage, pauses, and the interpreter renders it. Consecutive suits opening addresses, keynotes, courtroom-style hearings, and short bilateral meetings where slower pace is acceptable.
Can you do the conference remotely (RSI)?
Yes, on request, subject to availability, on the platform you use.
What lead time do you need for a full-day event?
3 to 6 weeks is preferred for a full-day board meeting or symposium so the interpreter can read the papers, build a glossary, and brief on subject matter. Short-notice bookings under a week depend on interpreter availability in the language pair.
How is confidentiality handled at a board-level conference?
We can put an NDA in place on request.
