Interpreting for Conferences...

The Profession of an Interpreter is not legally recognized and protected in Canada. There are several interpreter organizations that are trying to offer some structure or credibility, however affiliation is monetary. It is unfortunate though, that for such a highly specialized activity, many people claim to be Conference Interpreters when they are anything but, and even more people maintain that they can arrange impeccable conference interpretation services. But is that true?

Some providers for conferences are convention centers that are in business of renting out meeting facilities and can also be in the catering business. Simultaneous equipment rental companies sell, rent and operate simultaneous interpretation (SI) hardware. They also provide a full range of audio-visual technology. Hotels are in the accommodation, catering and meeting facilities business. Consultant Interpreters are interpreters that recruit their friends. Professional Conference organizers, or event planners, are in the business of taking care, organizing and planning events.

What you are actually looking for is a professional organization that simply provides Interpretation and Translation services.
