Conference & event interpretation
TE Event Interpretation plans, staffs, and equips multilingual events: professional conference interpreters, booths and receivers from our own inventory, and technicians who run the system from the first session to the last. On site, remote, or hybrid.

Simultaneous interpreters and the full interpretation equipment, engaged directly by WOCCU.
I’d like to express my sincere appreciation for your team’s outstanding service in accommodating our request within a tight timeframe. Your on-site team was professional and provided exactly what we needed.
The Translation Excellence team provided support services to the 14th U.S.–China Oil and Gas Industry Forum and proved to be reliable, flexible and crucial to the success of the event.
What we provide
Most events need more than one of these. We scope them together, so the interpreters, the booths, the receivers, and the venue’s sound all work as one setup on the day.

Not sure which you need? Compare the interpretation options side by side, or book a planning call and we will recommend a setup.
One team, one contract
A dedicated project manager learns your agenda, briefs the interpreter team, coordinates with your venue and AV crew, and stays your single point of contact through the event.
Who we work with
Whether you plan the program, run the venue, or report to an agency head, the question is the same: will every attendee be able to take part? Choose your sector.
Events with international teams and guests, interpreted so every participant follows the program.
Sessions in several languages at once, often across a convention center.
Available through our GSA contract or open-market purchasing.

Events where every voice needs to be heard.
We supply the interpretation layer and connect it to your production.
Rent our equipment and technicians for your clients’ events. We never approach your clients.
How it works
We learn your dates, venue, languages, audience, and agenda, and recommend a setup.
You receive a quote covering interpreters, equipment, technicians, and any remote platform.
We select and brief interpreters, collect your materials, and plan the venue setup.
Technicians install and test every channel and receiver before attendees arrive.
Your project manager and technicians stay with the program until the last session ends.
Questions planners ask
Multilingual events succeed or struggle on preparation. These are the issues we work through with you before the first attendee arrives.
Simultaneous interpretation gives listeners the speaker’s words in their language with only a few seconds’ delay, so they can react, ask questions, and vote in real time. For smaller or interactive settings we may recommend consecutive interpreting instead. We advise on the mode that fits each session.
We select interpreters for the language combination and the subject matter: a trade forum gets interpreters who know trade terminology, a medical meeting gets interpreters who know clinical language. We ask for your agenda, slides, and speaker names early so the team can build glossaries before day one.
For simultaneous interpretation, plan on a team of two interpreters per language, per room. Simultaneous interpreting is demanding work, and partners hand off every 15 to 20 minutes so quality holds all day. Long days or very technical content can call for a third interpreter. We confirm team size in your quote.
We size the system to your rooms, languages, and headcount: booth type, transmitter, receivers with spares, and microphones. Full-size booths need floor space and load-in access, sometimes a loading dock for a truck. We confirm those details with your venue before the event, not on the morning of it.
Interpreters need clean floor audio, and every audience needs the interpreted audio back. Our technicians connect the interpretation system to the venue’s sound and, for hybrid events, to the stream or meeting platform, and we rehearse the handoffs with your production team.
Concurrent breakouts each need their own interpreters and channel plan. We build the schedule room by room, keep it current as your agenda moves, and plan coverage for overruns and late changes.
The main cost drivers are the number of languages, hours per day, concurrent rooms, attendee count, venue logistics, and travel. Send what you know and we will scope it. If details are still open, we will price the options so you can decide.
As early as your dates are firm. More lead time gives us a wider choice of interpreters for your subject, and for equipment rental we recommend booking at least two weeks before the event. If your event is sooner, call us: because we own our equipment, short-notice requests are often still possible.

You do not need every answer to start. Share what you know; we will fill the gaps with you on a short call.
