The aim of this event is to discuss different angles and experience of interpreting during the pandemic and what we think the future might hold, e.g.

  • the greater use of Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) in commercial settings
  • global industry perspectives & situation in the UK
  • challenges and opportunities facing a major LSP - strengths, weaknesses, recruitment
  •  personal experience of conference interpreter & trainer
