Global summits and conferences
The interpreter in the room, wherever the summit is.
Climate conferences, G20 meetings, trade summits and international congresses move from country to country. STIB moves with your delegation.

Track record
Official delegations, four countries
STIB was the official interpreting team for Brazil's delegation at four editions of WorldSkills: United Kingdom 2011, Leipzig 2013, São Paulo 2015 and Abu Dhabi 2017. The same way of working — one team, briefed in advance, across every venue of the programme — applies to any international summit.

Summit interpreting: questions we are asked
Does STIB work outside Brazil and the United States?
Yes. STIB is headquartered in São Paulo and has interpreters and equipment on the ground in several Brazilian and US cities. For summits and conferences elsewhere, interpreters travel to the event on request, subject to availability, and remote simultaneous interpreting is available worldwide.
What does STIB interpret at an international summit?
The meetings a delegation or company organises itself: bilateral and business meetings, pavilion panels, side events, press interviews, receptions and site visits. Official plenary sessions at UN and G20 events are interpreted by the organiser's own service.
How far ahead should interpreters be booked for a major summit?
As early as the delegation's dates are known. Major summits concentrate demand for experienced conference interpreters into the same few days, and early booking leaves time to prepare glossaries and briefing material. Short-notice requests are still scoped as they arrive, subject to availability.
