No receiver, booth or transmitter needs to be transported
Participants don't need to wait for equipment to arrive — everything happens remotely
10 or 10,000 participants — same operating cost
1-2 second latency — same standard as physical receivers
Just needs internet — no technical installation

How to hire — quote in 60 seconds
Reach out via WhatsApp (+55 11 97534-6423) or the calculator at lingo.com.br/orcamento. Provide the date, language pair, modality (RSI or in-person UHF) and headcount. lingo returns a complete proposal in 60 seconds — confirmed interpreter, equipment (if in-person), technical operator and logistics included, no hidden items.
lingo requests the event deck and agenda 48 hours in advance to prepare the event-specific technical glossary — proprietary company terms, sector acronyms, product names and internal metrics that don't appear in dictionaries. For recurring mandates, the glossary accumulates session by session. After 12 months of monthly boards, the interpreter knows the company's internal vocabulary as well as any senior executive. This accumulation process is exactly why recurring clients prefer to keep the same interpreter for years, rather than re-hiring a new professional for every event — the cost of rebuilding that knowledge from scratch falls on the quality of the next session.
For RSI (Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex): setup 30 minutes ahead with the host, no physical equipment, no freight cost. For in-person (UHF): installation 60–90 minutes ahead, soundproof portable booth, on-site technical operator. For hybrid: both modalities run in parallel. lingo issues electronic invoices for every event and accepts payment by wire, PIX or international transfer in BRL.
Documented portfolio with verifiable mandates
lingo operates exclusively in the premium corporate market for more than 20 years. There are no academic, government, religious or entertainment events in the portfolio. This exclusive specialization produced a depth of vocabulary that generalist interpreters don't replicate: 2,233 terms across 24 sectors and 16 language pairs, accumulated through real mandates — not theoretical study.
Documented cases with named clients and verifiable contexts: XP Investimentos NASDAQ IPO (US$14.9B, 2019), CMA CGM × Santos Brasil (R$6.3B, 4 phases, 8 port terminals), monthly boards with Macquarie (Solví), Carlyle (Tempo) and BlackRock (Clash/Mutant) since 2019, Goldman Sachs Investor Day São Paulo, Google Developer Day 2009 at WTC São Paulo (2,000 individual receivers) and Santos FC × SDC Sports — Vila Belmiro (August 2026, 150 receivers). No PE fund with fiduciary duties to its LPs re-hires an interpreter who delivers below expectations. Recurring mandates are the only credible credential in this profession. Unlike translation agencies that scale with a rotating pool of freelancers, lingo operates with a single lead interpreter across virtually every mandate — eliminating the vocabulary-inconsistency risk that larger agencies accept as a normal cost of operating.
How lingo prepares vocabulary for São Paulo Downtown
Terminological accuracy in São Paulo Downtown is built before the event, not during. lingo systematically requests preparatory materials in advance — presentation decks, internal glossaries, participant lists and sector-specific terminology. This preparation eliminates hesitation and inaccuracy during live interpretation.
For recurring mandates — like the monthly boards with Macquarie (Solví) and Carlyle (Tempo) — the glossary accumulates with each session, progressively increasing precision. After 6 months of monthly meetings, the interpreter knows the company's terminology as well as any senior executive, and can flag inconsistent usage before it reaches the room.
In-person vs. remote for São Paulo Downtown
For São Paulo Downtown events, the modality depends on the event's type and size. Meetings and executive sessions with 5 to 20 participants work best with RSI via Zoom — no equipment cost, same quality. Conferences, investor days and trade shows with 50+ participants require the in-person system with individual UHF receivers and a portable booth. Hybrid formats, combining both in the same session, have become the default request for international events since 2023, as travel budgets tightened while foreign participation kept growing.
lingo operates both modalities at the same level of excellence, and has held active remote mandates with Carlyle, Macquarie and BlackRock since 2019 — proving that RSI does not compromise quality in high-stakes corporate contexts.
What sets lingo apart in São Paulo Downtown
Brazil's simultaneous interpretation market has few professionals with a documented portfolio in high-stakes corporate contexts. Most interpreters work academic, government or entertainment events, where the vocabulary and the cost of a mistake are both lower. lingo specializes exclusively in the premium corporate market — with cases documented at the level of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Macquarie and BlackRock.
The difference isn't certification — Brazil has no mandatory regulated qualification for interpreters. It's the clients: when Macquarie, Carlyle and BlackRock return month after month, the quality is self-evident. Recurring mandates are the only credible signal of consistency in this profession.
