Conferences Management and Interpretation in times of Covid: Lessons learned and outlook in 2022 and beyond

On December 15, 2021

Our CEO, Naomi Bowman, along with four other RSI industry professionals discussed the lessons learned until now and uncovered some best practices of Conferences Management and Interpretation.

The Covid pandemic has disrupted the operations of the UN and the European Institutions, pressuring them to urgently adapt and switch to a business continuity model.

The issues that these International actors face:

  • The need to maintain their diplomatic and multilateral meetings and conferences around the most important global issues

  • Provide the ability for delegates and interpreters to work from distance and locations across the globe simultaneously

RSI industry professionals:

  • Uroš Peterc, President of International Association of Conference Interpreters

  • Nader Ibrahim, Representative of Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

  • Naomi Bowman, CEO at DS-Interpretation, Inc.

  • Frédéric Pirotte, Head of Compliance at European Commission

  • Agnieszka Kurant, Head of the Remote Conference Service Unit at European Parliament

The panel discussion was moderated by Interactio CEO Henrikas Urbonas and Head of EU & UN Sales Asma Dakhouche. 

The Future is Right Here!
