Events and meetings

Simultaneous interpreting

Real-time interpreting for events where audiences need to follow a speaker in another language.

SIMULTANEOUS OR CONSECUTIVE

The difference is in the rhythm of the conversation.

WHEN TO CHOOSE THIS SERVICE

Interpreting while the presentation continues.

Conferences, presentations, larger meetings and in-person, hybrid or remote events.

Simultaneous interpreting follows the speaker with a short lag, allowing audiences to listen in another language without scheduled pauses.

For in-person events, we assess the booth and audio distribution. For remote or hybrid formats, we assess a dedicated interpreting platform, technical room, tests and audio contingencies according to the scope.
