Built for long days and big rooms
A conference keynote, an all-hands meeting and a three-day trade show each need different preparation. We staff each assignment with interpreters who fit the setting and send a team of two for anything longer than an hour, so the interpreting stays accurate through the last session.
For events, we work with your organizers ahead of time on stage placement, lighting and sight lines, so Deaf attendees can see both the speaker and the interpreter.

How booking works
Send the request
Tell us the date, times, venue and type of event, and roughly how many Deaf attendees you expect if you know.
We plan the staffing
We confirm the interpreters, a team for anything over an hour, and tell you what we need from you ahead of time.
Interpreters arrive prepared
With your agenda, slides and speaker names in hand, interpreters arrive early to check positioning and meet your organizers.
Common questions
How far ahead should we book?
For conferences and multi-day events, several weeks if possible, since we may need several teams. For meetings and trainings, a week or more is ideal. We'll always try to fill short-notice requests.
What should we send ahead of time?
The agenda, slides, scripts or speaker notes, presenter names, and any videos you plan to show. Interpreters prepare from these, and it makes a real difference in accuracy.
Do we need an interpreter if we don't know of any Deaf attendees?
For public events, many organizers book an interpreter in advance or ask for accommodation requests at registration. For internal meetings, book when an employee or guest asks. Under the ADA, the host provides and pays for interpreting.
Is there a minimum booking?
Yes. In-person assignments are booked for at least two hours.
Why would you send two interpreters?
Interpreting is mentally demanding, and accuracy drops with fatigue. Assignments longer than an hour are normally staffed with a team of two who trade off, which is the professional standard. We'll tell you up front when an assignment needs a team.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 24 hours before the start time and there is no charge. Cancellations inside 24 hours are billed for the full scheduled time, because the interpreter has already turned down other work for it.
