Explore our Interpreting for Conferences Case Study

Major specialty coffee trade show and conference. Interpretation of daily plenary sessions and over 30 educational sessions throughout the trade show. Languages offered are English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. 15,000 tradeshow attendees, 900 international delegates. Conference interpretation equipment is set up in each room requiring interpretation, and radio-frequency receivers are distributed out of two main locations in the convention center.

The convention planner for this event saw the incremental growth of its annual convention and expo, particularly with its international attendance. UniVerse had been its provider for English to Spanish interpretation every year, for a small contingent of attendees from Latin America. As they became leaders in the industry, their event became the international standard, and this started attracting attendees from other parts of the world.
