Overview of event types and subjects
Over the years we have interpreted at a huge number of events dealing with a wide variety of subjects. We hope you understand that for reasons of confidentiality we cannot list the names of our clients here without their permission. But please feel free to contact us if you need more detailed information!
Types of event:
Press conferences, congresses, committee meetings, executive board meetings, supervisory board meetings, AGMs, press briefings on annual results, inspections, training courses, continuous professional development, sales, marketing, or salesforce meetings, in-company training, management seminars, product launches, contractual negotiations, symposia.
Events that we have interpreted and/or organised range from small group discussions to major events with several thousand participants. In addition to the regularly required conference languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or French) we have also put together teams for languages such as Japanese, Swedish, Finnish, Russian or Chinese. Locations have ranged from German cities such as Frankfurt, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen, Hanover, Berlin and Freiburg to foreign locations such as Washington, Tokyo, Brussels, Dublin, London, Stockholm, Barcelona, Monaco, Geneva, Madrid, Venice or Cape Town. You can find a link to a list of speakers we have interpreted for, as well as photographs illustrating our day-to-day work under the heading “References”. There you will also find various newspaper articles on the subject of simultaneous interpreting.

EWC / SEWC
European Works Council or SE Works Council meetings have to be handled with great sensitivity. We can supply you with a team of experienced interpreters to help you prepare and hold SEWC and EWC events – from Special Negotiating Body meetings down to regular Works Council sessions.
If you would like references, we can supply you with the contact details of Works Council chairpersons for whom we have worked for many years.
FDA-inspections
The FDA carries out routine inspections of foreign companies that supply products or services to the US market. For such FDA audits, the presence of a professional interpreter has proved invaluable for ensuring that misunderstandings are avoided.
We have considerable experience with FDA inspections (GMP, GCP, GLP, BIMO) and will be happy to advise you on communication-related aspects of their preparation and implementation.
We work closely with service provider CMC Pharma (www.cmc-pharma.de), and in recent years have completed many inspections with zero observations made.
