The interpreting profession is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technology, evolving client expectations, and new market dynamics. In this talk, we will explore strategies for interpreters to remain indispensable in an era of AI, remote work, and hybrid events. Beyond linguistic agility and digital tools, success increasingly depends on an interpreter’s personality – adaptability, cultural intelligence, and the ability to build trust with clients and colleagues. Staying relevant requires continuous learning, a proactive mindset, and strong interpersonal skills. Drawing on 29 years of experience, the speaker will provide insights into how interpreters can not only survive but thrive in the changing landscape of conference interpreting.
