The past couple of years have seen publication of new standards affecting interpreting for the live events industry, including ISO 24019 - Simultaneous Interpreting Delivery Platforms and ISO 23155 Conference Interpreting, and revisions of other standards.
There is a new set of standards under development, “Simultaneous Interpreting: The Interpreters’ Working Environment” and an ad hoc discussion group on “Speech To Text”.
This session provides an overview of the current state of international standards and a discussion of what we need to focus on for the future.
Most importantly, we want to hear from you – what new standards are needed to keep pace with technology changes?
Join our panel of standards and industry experts and be part of this important conversation.
