Interpreting options to support your event
Every conference is different, which is why we offer a range of interpreting solutions to suit your audience, format and environment.
Face-to-face interpreting
Face-to-face interpreting is often preferred for conferences and events where in-room presence enhances delivery and the 'human touch.'
Your interpreters work alongside your speakers, supporting live sessions and enabling natural interaction, particularly in high-profile or large-scale environments
Video remote interpreting (VRI)
Video remote interpreting provides a flexible alternative to on-site delivery, connecting your event to professional interpreters via a secure video platform.
VRI is well-suited to hybrid or fully virtual events, where you need real-time communication without the logistical requirements of travel and equipment.
BSL interpreting
For inclusive events, we also provide BSL interpreting, supporting participants through qualified sign language interpreters.
This can be delivered on-site or remotely, depending on your setup, ensuring your event remains accessible and aligned with accessibility best practices.
Please note that not every deaf or hard-of-hearing individual uses BSL, so ask participants what their preferences are.
How our conference interpreting service works
We provide a fully managed approach designed to support your event from planning through to live delivery.
While the core process remains consistent, the details will vary depending on factors such as the interpreting mode (simultaneous, consecutive or whispered), the delivery method (on-site or remote), and whether specialist equipment is required.
1. Understanding your event requirements
We begin by discussing your event in detail, including audience size, languages, format, venue or platform, and the type of sessions being delivered.
From there, our team will recommend the most appropriate interpreting setup and identify any technical or logistical requirements early on.
2. Interpreter selection and preparation
Your project manager selects interpreters based on language pair, subject matter and live event experience.
For larger conferences or longer sessions, we may recommend a team of interpreters working in rotation.
3. Technical setup and coordination
For conferences and events, interpreting often involves specialist equipment such as booths, headsets and audio systems, which we can source and manage.
For remote or hybrid events, we ensure interpreters are aligned with your chosen platform and ready to deliver real-time support.
4. Live event delivery and on-the-day support
On the day of your event, your interpreters deliver real-time communication while your dedicated point of contact coordinates the service behind the scenes.
Backup teams are in place to manage any changes or additional requirements, ensuring your event runs smoothly.
5. Follow-up and ongoing support
After your event, we can support future requirements, whether you are planning additional conferences or ongoing multilingual communications.
If you want to complement your interpreting with live captions, we can also work seamlessly with your event and audiovisual teams to deliver a fully integrated, accessible experience for your audience.
