AUSIT NAT Presents: Simultaneous Interpreting in Community Settings: Trends, Challenges & Skill-Building (Webinar)

As the interpreting profession continues to evolve, simultaneous interpreting is increasingly being introduced into community-focused settings that have traditionally relied on consecutive modes. This follow-up session explores the expanding role of SI beyond conference environments, offering insights into emerging opportunities and real-world challenges. If you have missed Part 1, you can purchase the PD webinar here (note: this is not mandatory for the participation in Part 2).

We will cover the following topics:

• The changing landscape of interpreting as a professional service
• Infiltration of SI into the traditional consecutive only turfs
• Opportunities: settings/scenarios that SI will be in demand
• Challenges: the pitfalls and obstacles to decent performance
• Unleash your potential: how to sharpen/finetune skills using all available resources

If you have any questions you'd like addressed during the session, please submit them here to help the presenter prepare and tailor the content to your needs. 

Whether you're a seasoned interpreter or just beginning to explore the simultaneous mode, this session will offer valuable perspectives and practical tips to support your professional development.
