About Congrestolken and this blog

Congrestolken (Conference Interpreters) is the Netherland's pioneering conference interpretation service provider. For more than 40 years, we have been providing just the right professionals for every occasion where flawless communication is essential. Please get in touch with us to learn more about us or to hire an interpreter.

Conference interpreters usually work behind the scenes (or rather, behind a glass partition), arguably making their job appear somewhat enigmatic. In this blog, we would like to shed some light on the profession of conference interpreter by answering the questions our clients and listeners frequently ask us. There will also be posts about other linguistic matters of interest. Would you like to see your own question answered on the blog? Just send an email to b.priebe@aiic.net and watch this space!
