Washington, D.C. is hosting the first-ever North American Summit on Interpreting. This one-day summit will be held on June 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is the first national forum that brings together key representatives from all major sectors of interpreting to discuss the profession as a whole. 

The idea behind this conference is to bring all of us together so that we can learn from each other. In this way we can support the profession as a whole and enhance services to those who speak limited English.

 This event was organized by InterpretAmerica, which is run by Katharine Allen, a former president of the California Healthcare Interpreting Association, and Barry Olsen, a highly respected professor at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, which hosts the most prestigious graduate interpreting program in the U.S.
