Showlight to Offer Simultaneous Translation

	Questions posed by the audience during the Q&A sessions will receive the same simultaneous translations across all four languages.

Showlight, the quadrennial lighting conference, being held in Dijon, France, May 19-22, announces a major innovation that will open it up to international visitors: simultaneous translation.

Historically, Showlight has been conducted solely in English, but this year is different. Located in France and supported by French lighting manufacturer and headline sponsor Robert Juliat, the event will offer simultaneous translations of the papers and Q&A sessions in four languages. Delegates can listen and ask questions in English, French, Italian, and Spanish via the AI translation system Interprefy. This simultaneously translates to voice and text, which can be listened to on headphones or read on smartphones or iPads. Attendees need only bring their earbuds and headsets.

Similarly, questions posed by the audience during the Q&A sessions can be asked in any of these languages, and will receive the same simultaneous translations across all four languages.

Ticket holders to Showlight can request additional languages at the time of purchase by contacting info@showlight.org.

Tickets can be purchased direct from the Showlight website at www.showlight.org.
