Simultaneous Interpretation
English is the official language of the 2010 MDRT Annual Meeting. MDRT will provide simultaneous interpretation of the Main Platform presentations and selected Focus Sessions when at least 100 registrants request interpretation for the same language. Requests for simultaneous interpretation must be clearly marked on the Annual Meeting Registration and Housing form and received on or before May 3, 2010.
MDRT will provide simultaneous interpretation for a maximum of 12 languages. If more than 12 languages are requested, simultaneous interpretation will be provided in the first 12 languages that meet the 100-person minimum, as entered into the registration system.
MDRT will provide interpretation headsets and receivers to all registered members who meet the above requirements on or before May 3, 2010. The availability of headsets and receivers is not guaranteed to members who did not request simultaneous interpretation when registering in advance, or to those who register for the meeting on site.
A security deposit of USD 400 will be required for all headset rentals via personal credit card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover) 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.
Hearing-Impaired Headsets
Should you require use of a hearing-impaired headset, please check the “special needs” box on the Registration and Housing form. A security deposit of USD 400 will be required for all headset rentals via personal credit card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover) 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.
