Testimonials
Calliope is a trusted partner to governments, international organizations, Fortune 500 companies, top-tier event planners and more. We are proud to support our clients in engaging their participants through multilingual events across the globe.
The Institut d'Histoire Culturelle Européenne when organising the annual conference of the International Society for Cultural History at the Château de Lunéville, France chose Calliope because of its good reputation in the academic field. The quality of the interpreters, their availability and flexibility contributed greatly to the success of the event. Thank you, Calliope.
Jean-Sébastien Noël, Institut d’histoire culturelle européenne (2012)
I simply wanted to say thank you for being part of the first Youth Olympic Games and for remaining flexible in your approach. Everyone fortunate enough to benefit from your admirable skills was impressed with your high level services and your professionalism.
Emma Mas Jones, Head of Language Services, SYOGOC
Although this was the first time we had worked with an overseas interpretation company, everything went very well. We are very impressed by the professionalism of all the interpreters, which contributed to the overall success of the event. Contacts with Ms. Danielle Grée were very satisfactory. She is a capable and experienced coordinator, who is able to reconcile the needs of customers whilst providing the interpreters with the conditions they need to perform effectively.

Calliope-Interpreters: the only team of interpreters I have ever seen receiving a standing ovation and well deserved at that. After 4 years of nightmares organising interpretation for our meetings we signed with Calliope: I have been sleeping as a baby ever since.
Finn Riley, European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA, 2010)
I had previously listened to interpreters provided by Calliope and this is the reason we recommended the company for our AGM. I am pleased to say they did not let us down. The interpreters were both professional and very precise. If we require such services in the future I would happily recommend Calliope-Interpreters again.
Jasprit Sahnsi, Manager Legal Affairs, Gate Gourmet Switzerland GmbH
I was greatly impressed by the excellent quality of the interpreting provided by Calliope during the visit of OECD experts, thanks to which the visiting experts were able to fully grasp the content of what their Portuguese counterparts were saying. This was crucial in enabling them to make a thorough analysis.
Paulo Santiago, Senior Analyst, Directorate for education, OECD
Not only do I wish to emphasize the consummate professionalism and technical prowess of the interpreters who work with Calliope, but also their willingness to respond to last minute changes.
José Antonio Sánchez Quintanilla, Ministry of Labour and Immigration
It was a great pleasure to work with Calliope-Interpreters and there is no doubt that we will call upon their services for our future events. Nathalie Pijollet was extremely skilled and always obliging with the various questions asked by our members and staff.
We highly recommend their expertise to anyone that is in need of a quick and reliable interpretation service.

Thanks for all your assistance in helping make the 2007 World Trotting conference a smoothly run and memorable experience for those who attended.
Lorraine Mc Herron - Harness Racing New Zealand
The African Refiners Association has used the interpreting services of Calliope since its inaugural AGM in 2006. The quality of the interpreting in a completely bi-lingual (English/French) forum was invaluable.
The whole experience the first year led us to book the services of Calliope for 2007, and now that the 2007 AGM is over we have already requested their time for 2008. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
S. Taylor for and on behalf of CITAC Africa LLP, Consultants to the ARA
I have been utilizing Calliope-Interpreters for over three years in numerous countries. The logistical aspect of the sessions has always been flawless and never a worry. The quality of interpreters has been incredible! The same can be said for the personal service received for each session. I have used other services outside of Europe and have discovered that Calliope is the best by far.
Patrick M. Cowher, Tyco, Senior EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety), Manager CultureChange
The meeting of FACE, the Federation of Associations for Hunting and Conservation of the European Union, was indeed a big success and the interpreters provided by Calliope, each of whom I made a point of meeting personally, were excellent. This was formally recognised and acknowledged by the conference Chair and the delegates by applause. It was a pleasure to work with you and them.
