Since our first conference in 1995, CLI’s vibrant triennial conferences have become a staple event on the interpreting and translating calendar bringing together interpreters, researchers, and policy makers from 40+ countries.
The latest research from leading thinkers. Driving progress for language access and community interpreting.
A rich mix of perspectives across industries, cultures, and continents. All coming together to share, learn and connect.
Collective passion and expertise working towards shared goals. Improving standards, increasing capability, and building awareness.
The CLI team is working hard behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to see you again!
We are rebuilding momentum after the disruption of COVID-19 and are excited to bring our community together again with the hopeful timeframe of 2028.
As a volunteer-run organisation, CLI conferences are made possible through the generosity of partner organisations and the support of passionate volunteers. As such, we’re actively seeking expressions of interest from parties who would like to assist.
We’d love to hear from you!
