Conference Interpreting
Conference interpreting will make your multilingual event a success.
If you are not familiar with multilingual events, conference interpreting can be daunting. You will need to plan ahead to make sure that all participants can speak freely in the language of their choice. Conference and event interpreters add value to your event and are the key to international conference success when people from different cultures and languages come together.
Conference interpreters work across the globe.
Conference and event interpreters bring audiences from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages together by enabling them to communicate with each other by conveying the messages and ideas that they express into another language. Most events rely on audio visual (A/V), electronic interpreting equipment and ISO-certified interpreting booths for the highest quality and reliability of the interpreting services during your event.
Conference interpreting deals primarily with oral communication.
Conference interpreters render messages from one language into another, naturally and fluently. They speak in the first person and adopt the tone and conviction of the original speaker. Which languages do your event attendees understand? Which languages do the presenters speak? It is important to plan in advance for appropriate language services so that everyone can hear and understand each other.

Here are some of the companies we are honored to
provide conference interpreting services to.
Translation Services
Translation services refer to having written materials produced in the appropriate languages. For conferences, this could look like welcome packets, signage, forms, maps, agendas, guides, etc. Often these documents are the first impression to attendees that your conference will be accessible and inclusive, which any global company should boast.
Interpreting Services
Interpreting services deal primarily with oral communication. When an interpreter is part of your event, they deliver spoken messages authentically by communicating in first person and utilizing the tone and style of the original speaker. An interpreter could be in-person, video-remote, over the phone, or in a hybrid situation while offering simultaneous or consecutive interpreting (what’s the difference?).
Live Captioning
Live captioning refers to translated content (or subtitles) displayed in real-time during speaking presentations or video messages. For virtual events, live captioning can be a great addition or an alternative to interpreting services. Similar to a live interpreter, someone is translating what the speaker is saying into the appropriate language and typing into on-screen software so it is visible to attendees.
Live captioning is also vital for those in attendance who are hard of hearing or deaf. In the US alone, it is estimated that one in eight people aged 12 and older has some form of hearing loss in both ears – further proof that it’s crucial to consider how your message will be accessible to those who prefer or require written communication.
An added bonus of having live captioning is it caters to visual learners who can better comprehend and relate to a topic when there is visual messaging to support the conversation.
Technical Equipment & Support
Technical equipment and support are essential when using language services. Whether it’s audio/visual support, in-person project management, interpreting booths, or wireless headsets and receivers, there is no shortage of technical items to consider before hosting your multilingual conference or event.
With so many moving parts…this was by far our best conference with interpreters.
- 3000 Invites: We translated the invites, website and registration material to communicate with event attendees in five languages.
- 5 Languages: All information was translated and interpreted into five different languages, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.
- 10 Interpreters: Two-interpreter teams per language worked diligently throughout the entire event to ensure accurate language access for all attendees.
Our international attendees were beyond impressed. We will definitely use INGCO International again.

Here’s how we helped Jack!
Jack reached out to us because he needed to arrange simultaneous interpreters in 6 different languages for his companies global team rally in Milwaukee. The logistics of the rally were complicated – the event was to be held in a variety of venues including a convention center, their local manufacturing plant and a theater. INGCO worked with the event planners and the Audio Visual teams to ensure that the interpreter soundproof booths were set up in the convention center and all the headsets were organized to hand out to the audience members. We also provided portable wireless units for the manufacturing plant and set up a live video feed into the green room for the interpreters during the events in the theater. All in all, the event was amazingly successful and not only was Jack beyond pleased with the quality of the interpreters, the technical aspects worked perfectly as well.
