Conference Equipment

Your organization or client has a conference on the horizon and everything is planned; seating arrangements, keynote speakers, entertainment, food and beverage options are all checked off and accounted for. But have you thought about interpreting and translation services for international or limited-English speaking attendees? Conference interpreting services can be a make or break necessity for attendees that have a language barrier which impairs them from truly understanding, learning and communicating at an event or meeting.
There are several types of conference interpreting solutions available to bridge language gaps. Conference and event organizers will often work with a language service Conference Equipment agency to find the right solution. First is the need to provide simultaneous interpreters that orally translate the presentation into the different target languages in real-time. It's important to ensure that the interpreter has enough bandwidth to avoid fatigue depending on the length and subject matter of the presentation. It's recommended that a team (pair) of simultaneous interpreters is used per language to guarantee clear, concise, and continuous communication.
Paired with simultaneous interpreters is the need for state-of-the-art interpreting equipment to facilitate clear communication across languages. Interpreters are placed in a sound proof booth or table top booth (one booth per language) where they have the necessary privacy and space to work. Attendees who require language assistance wear wireless listening devices (headsets/receivers) which allow them to hear the presentation in their native language as it's being translated by the interpreter. This approach creates a more personalized attendee experience and eliminates any interference for those attendees listening to the floor language.
Interpreting services are often used in a variety of settings that are different from the typical corporate conference engagement. Some common event and business related interpreting occasions include:

• Trade Shows
• Press Reveals
• Church Services
• New Hire Orientations
• Focus Groups
• Expositions
• Product Demonstrations
• Launch Parties
• Training Courses
• Film Festivals
