GUIDELINES FOR CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS

• Ask an AIIC consultant interpreter for advice and quotes

• Discuss types of interpretation and equipment required before finalising the venue

• Use interpretation equipment which conforms with ISO standards

• Insist on professional interpreters. Do not sacrifice quality for the sake of false economies

• Sign contracts with individual interpreters to ensure their availability

• Send conference documents to interpreters as soon as possible

• Keep sessions to maximum three hours. Remember the effect of stress and fatigue on interpreters, as well as delegate attention span

• Brief delegates and speakers on the use of interpretation before the conference starts

• Appoint a representative to liaise with the interpreters' team head throughout the conference.

More information on this aspect can be requested from our secretariat at Geneva.
