Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find the answer to your question here or on our support page, our team would be happy to fill in the blanks.
Our interpreters provide a two-way service for your conference or event: conveying communication for both hearing and Deaf participants. Interpreters not only relay the content of presentations and speeches, but also Question and Answer sessions and conversations during networking/mingling opportunities. To provide thorough service, interpreters predominantly focus on Deaf individuals in the room, so they can alert moderators when someone has a question or comment.
Making your event an equitable experience for Deaf participants is worth spreading the word about. Let people know by including a line on invitations, signs, your website or social media that you’re providing ASL interpreting on-site or over video. When you enlist Sorenson for interpreting services, mentioning our name and logo will register with the Deaf community as a familiar and trusted provider.
If you really want to make an impression, a video promotion for your event with ASL and captioning will send a clear message that you’re serious about DEIA.
Because the organizer is doing their job well. There are several reasons an event may require more than one sign language interpreter. For example, the size of the venue may necessitate interpreters in more than one location for visibility. One of the interpreters may be a Certified Deaf Interpreter to present information with native language proficiency for Deaf individuals. Using Certified Deaf Interpreters enables more dynamic interaction with Deaf audience members. These are the types of considerations our team will help you plan around when you schedule conference interpreting service from Sorenson
