What people said about last year’s Innovation in Interpreting Summit

— Teresa Salazar
"I feel less afraid of trying something new or including more technology in my work as an interpreter. Some of your advice and that of the speakers sparked ideas which I hope to include into my business and my work"
— Astrid Ludwig
"Frankly, I was impressed with the way everything was thought out and organised. I would like to particularly emphasise your generosity: with your own content, advice, free webinars, prizes, offers from sponsors. You have really created a quality product and I was completely convinced of getting great value for a symbolic investment.
— Elena Bocharova
"The summit exceeded my expectations. It opened my eyes to the use of technologies in the interpreting field.”

— Maarten Austmann
"The content was beyond awesome. Loved the use of short presentations under 25 or so minutes. Some I wished went on and on, but it was the perfect smorgasbord of information. I’m already looking forward to the next summit!”
