Conference Interpretation
Professional language interpretation services provided at conferences, summits, and large-scale events, traditionally performed by certified human interpreters.
Understanding Conference Interpretation
Conference interpretation is a specialized profession requiring extensive training and certification. Interpreters work in teams (typically pairs for each language) in soundproof booths, providing continuous interpretation for multi-day events. The cost of professional conference interpretation typically ranges from $1,000-$3,000 per day per language pair, plus equipment rental for receiver systems, booths, and headsets. AI translation technology is disrupting this industry by providing affordable, scalable alternatives that work for most event types.
