1. ISO 4043 Booth Compliance

Soundproof booths must meet ISO 4043 specs for ventilation, acoustic attenuation, and unobstructed line-of-sight to the main plenary stage and presentation screens.

2. Interpreter Rostering & Rotation

Simultaneous interpretation requires pairs of accredited interpreters rotating every 30 minutes to maintain cognitive accuracy and linguistic precision.

3. Receiver Distribution & Frequencies

Deploy digital infrared or RF language receivers with pre-configured channel assignment keys for delegates upon registration entry.
