Simultaneous Interpretation

English is the official language of the 2012 MDRT Annual Meeting. MDRT will provide simultaneous interpretation of the Main Platform presentations and selected Focus Sessions in the following 12 languages when at least 50 registered members have requested interpretation in a common language: Bahasa Indonesian, Cantonese, Greek, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese.

MDRT will provide interpretation headsets and receivers to all registered members who meet the above requirements. The availability of headsets and receivers is not guaranteed to members who do not request simultaneous interpretation when registering in advance or to those who register for the meeting on-site.

Hearing-Impaired Headsets

Should you require use of a hearing-impaired headset, please check the “special needs” box on the Registration and Housing form.

Note: A security deposit of USD 400 will be required for all headset rentals via personal credit card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard) in order to obtain a headset and receiver. When the equipment is returned undamaged at the end of the meeting, the credit card voucher will be returned and no charge will have been made.
