A journey into the world of interpreters

VEGA is a world-wide network of professional conference interpreters - all of them members of AIIC - dedicated to helping budding and junior interpreters pursue their fledgling career.

Budding Interpreters:

If you have already chosen a career in interpreting and want to know more, don't miss our list of frequently asked questions. And if you're just curious about the profession, see for yourself what a day in the life of a conference interpreter looks like.

Beginners:

If you are just getting started in the profession, our tips for beginners are a must read. Initially, you'll often wonder whether to accept an interpreting assignment or not. Turn to our job offer checklist for advice. Before reporting to your booth for the first time, read up on booth manners. And after your first conference, take a break and think about how to manage your interpreting career over the long-term.

Professionals:

AIIC is an inclusive and representative professional body. Though not all conference interpreters are members of the Association, banding together in a world-wide association of staff and freelance interpreters merits serious consideration. Here's why.

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the VEGA site, created by members of the International Association of Conference Interpreters.

Whether you're interested in the profession, tempted by it or even a student interpreter, or an interpreter who is not a member of AIIC, we'll try to answer your questions.

We will find practical information and examples of the daily life of an interpreter through a series of vignettes so as to give you an idea of the reality of our job.

Because whether you're a budding interpreter, a beginner or an experienced professional, the difficulties encountered and the questions raised are often the same. So we wanted to share our experiences and talk about what we often keep to ourselves in AIIC , but which might be helpful to others.

Thank you!

The VEGA Team
