Translation•A large number of international
delegates know very little English
•Hearing things in your 1st language is always a better experience
•Traditional consecutive translation is slow and disrupts the flow

Simultaneous Translation
•Interpreters sit in a temporary soundproof booth, usually to the rear of the room
•The presenter is translated seamlessly into a different language
•The delegates who require translation wear a headset with a wireless receiver to listen to the translated presentation
•You can have as many languages as required
How it works...
