Interpreting during and after the pandemic: face-to-face, remote or hybrid

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
