Latin America leadership meetings
Quarterly reviews and strategy sessions where a regional team reports in Spanish and Portuguese to a leadership group working in English.
On the ground in MiamiHQ São PauloRemote worldwide
MiamiMiami is where Latin America does business in English.
Regional headquarters, family offices, trade events and the flights that connect all of it. STIB has professional interpreters and simultaneous interpreting equipment on the ground in Miami, working the three languages the city actually runs on — Portuguese, Spanish and English.
What we are booked for in Miami
Assignments that come with the gateway role
Miami's business is regional by definition: most rooms have at least two of Portuguese, Spanish and English in them.
Conferences, summits and trade shows
Multilingual conference programmes with booths and receivers, including sessions that are streamed to audiences in Brazil and Spanish-speaking markets.
Investor meetings and family offices
Private meetings around capital raising and cross-border investment, where discretion matters as much as accuracy.
Import, export and distribution negotiations
Commercial negotiations and supplier meetings between United States operations and counterparties across Latin America.
Cross-border legal and compliance sessions
Contract negotiations, compliance interviews and arbitration-related meetings in the two-language setting the region generates.
Multi-day agendas across the city
One interpreter for the whole visit — offices, site visits, working dinners and the trade-show floor.
Multilingual setups
When the room runs in three languages
Three languages in one room is not simply three times the work — it changes the setup. Two common configurations:
Two target languages, two booths
The floor runs in English; Portuguese and Spanish are delivered on separate channels, each by its own pair of interpreters. Attendees choose a channel on their receiver.
Relay, when a pair is rare
When no interpreter works a given pair directly, one interpreter renders into a pivot language and the second works from that. It is standard practice, and it is planned in advance rather than improvised.

Straight answers
Questions we are asked about this assignment
Does STIB have interpreters in Miami?
Yes. STIB has professional interpreters and simultaneous interpreting equipment on the ground in Miami, in addition to its São Paulo headquarters and Brasília office. There is no Miami office — the interpreters and equipment are working resources available in the city.
Can you cover Portuguese and Spanish in the same event?
Yes. A session running in English can be delivered simultaneously into both Portuguese and Spanish on separate channels, each language staffed by its own pair of interpreters. The number of channels and receivers is specified when the event is scoped.
Do you supply booths and receivers in Miami?
Yes. Simultaneous interpreting equipment is available locally, including booths, transmitters and receivers, so equipment does not need to be shipped from Brazil. Smaller meetings can use a portable system instead of a full booth.
What is relay interpreting and when is it used?
Relay is used when no available interpreter works a given language pair directly: one interpreter renders the speech into a pivot language, and a second interpreter works from that rendering into the target. It is standard professional practice and is planned into the booth arrangement in advance.
Can you also interpret sessions that are being streamed?
Yes. Interpreted channels can be delivered into a streaming or hybrid setup so remote attendees select their language the same way people in the room do. The audio chain is planned with the event's technical team before the day.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a multi-day programme, and conferences with several languages benefit from more notice because equipment and interpreter pairs are reserved together. Short-notice requests are accepted subject to availability.
