Any preparation materials in advance of the event are extremely helpful. Professional interpreters rely on this preparation material to make sure they can familiarise themselves with the subject content and to make sure that they can deliver the best possible service for you. Without any preparation, it makes the interpreter’s job much more difficult and will ultimately affect the quality of service you will receive.

Useful preparation materials include:

• Agenda or running order
• Scripts or notes of speeches
• Abstracts of presentations
• PowerPoint slides
• Videos/podcasts that will be presented
• Names of speakers and participants
• Notes or minutes from previous meetings
• Any particular dress code

If this is an Islamic booking, it is extremely important that you send us the scripts and presentation notes in advance so that we can prepare an appropriate translation of the Arabic into BSL.
