Sign language interpreters: conference and event preparation

Conferences, festivals and public meetings need interpreters who have studied the programme, the speakers' slides and the specialist vocabulary. Preparation time is part of the job. With Book, organisers book a preparation call on your own booking page, and you create the event days from your list with the team size in the booking.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples. Leave event prices empty if they're quoted per assignment.

Open preparation call slots during the week. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email: ask for the event name, dates, venue and expected audience.

Once confirmed, create each event day yourself from your bookings list in the organiser's name. First and last name are enough, and you can set the number of people, such as two interpreters working in turns. With their email, the organiser gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Add a note with the programme timing.

Say in the description that slides, scripts and speaker names should reach you by email a set number of days before. Good preparation depends on them.

Long sessions need two interpreters taking turns. In a team, create event services per interpreter: one booking page per business, no staff field. Slots of different services can overlap, so both can be booked for the same day.

Organisers can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't store materials, write contracts, take payments or send reminders. See the guide on booking interpreters for appointments. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
