YOU DEAL ONLY WITH YOUR CONSULTANT INTERPRETER
BEFORE AND DURING YOUR EVENT
BEFORE THE EVENT the consultant interpreter will
- Help you finalize your requirements.
- Put together the team of interpreters by:
- Selecting them according to proximity, languages, specialization and availability,
- Putting them first on stand-by via an option and subsequently offering them a firm contract,
- Making arrangements for their travel and accommodation if required,
- Recruiting teams that achieve the best value for money as the programme evolves (languages, schedules, rooms)
- Arrange interpreting equipment if required.
- Submit a quotation.
- Collect and forward all documents to the interpreters (via the Calliope Briefcase) and ensure they are treated as confidential.
DURING THE EVENT
the consultant interpreter will
- Provide personal on-site coordination or appoint a team leader.
- Help you steer clear of difficulties and sort out any problems that occur (an interpreter falls sick, a language is added, the rooms change etc.)
AFTER THE EVENT the consultant interpreter will
- Arrange all invoicing.
- Conduct a debriefing with you about the conference.
There is more to being a consultant interpreter than meets the eye.
For Calliope it's all in a day's work.
