Simultaneous Interpretation at WTC São Paulo

How to hire — quote in 60 seconds

Contact lingo via WhatsApp (+55 11 97534-6423) or lingo.com.br/orcamento. Provide the date, language pair, modality and participant count. lingo returns a full proposal in 60 seconds: confirmed interpreter, equipment (if in-person), technical operator and logistics included with no hidden costs. Alex Barros requests the event deck and agenda 48 hours in advance to prepare the event-specific technical glossary — the foundation of terminological precision in real time.

For recurring mandates — quarterly or monthly boards — the glossary accumulates with each session. lingo has held active monthly mandates with Macquarie (Solví), Carlyle (Tempo) and BlackRock (Clash/Mutant) since 2019. No PE fund with fiduciary obligations to its LPs would rehire an interpreter who does not perform at the required level. Recurring mandates are the real credential in this profession.

For RSI via Zoom or Teams: 30-minute pre-event setup with the host, no physical equipment, no travel cost. For in-person events: UHF system installation 60–90 minutes before the event, soundproofed portable booth, technical operator on-site. For hybrid events: both modalities running in parallel.

The quote includes interpreter confirmation, equipment (if in-person), technical operator and logistics — no hidden costs. Alex Barros requests the event deck and agenda 48 hours before to prepare the event-specific technical glossary. For recurring mandates, the glossary accumulates over sessions, increasing precision progressively. Clients who hold monthly or quarterly boards with lingo — Macquarie, Carlyle, BlackRock, Burger King/RBI, 3corações × Strauss — return because the quality is consistent and the glossary is already built. New clients receive the same glossary preparation from their event materials.

Additional information for international clients: lingo covers all major corporate venues in São Paulo (Faria Lima, Paulista, WTC São Paulo, Grand Hyatt, Transamerica Expo Center, Expo Center Norte, Frei Caneca Convention Center) and delivers equipment to any city in Brazil with freight included in the quote. For remote RSI events, the location is irrelevant — Alex Barros and lingo interpreters operate from anywhere. For events with multiple simultaneous language channels — for example, English, Mandarin and Portuguese at a trilateral board — lingo coordinates a team of lingo interpreters, one per channel, with the same preparation and glossary standard. The Zoom Language Interpretation channel supports up to 20 simultaneous interpreters, making any language combination technically feasible in a single event. Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA (CNPJ 53.834.741/0001-34) is incorporated under Brazilian law, issues nota fiscal (Brazilian electronic invoice) for all events, and accepts payment by bank transfer (TED/PIX) or international wire in BRL. English-speaking and Spanish-speaking clients may conduct the entire contracting process in their language via WhatsApp or email.

WTC São Paulo — Technical requirements for simultaneous interpretation

The WTC São Paulo has 44 floors of corporate event spaces. The main auditorium on the ground floor accommodates up to 800 participants. Meeting rooms on upper floors range from 10 to 150 participants. For each space, lingo configures the UHF system to the room dimensions — compact single-transmitter for meeting rooms, multi-transmitter rack for the main auditorium. The venue's AV team provides the main speaker feed; lingo connects to it and distributes to the interpreter's headphone and the UHF transmitter.

Alex Barros interpreted the Google Developer Day 2009 at WTC São Paulo with 2,000 individual UHF receivers — the largest single-event UHF deployment in the lingo portfolio. The event featured international Google speakers presenting in English to a predominantly Portuguese-speaking audience. Setup required 4 hours and a team of 3 technicians, coordinated with the WTC AV department. The interpretation ran for 9 hours across 3 stages, with Alex Barros operating the English–Portuguese channel from a portable soundproofed booth installed in the main stage area.

Simultaneous interpretation across Brazil — national coverage

lingo covers events across Brazil. In-person equipment (UHF system, booth, technical operator) is deployed from Guarulhos to any destination — freight and travel are itemized in the quote. RSI via Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex has no geographic constraint — the interpreter operates remotely from anywhere, and participants connect from anywhere in the world. Events in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador, Manaus and all other state capitals are covered. International events — M&A roadshows in New York, investor meetings in London, regulatory hearings in Geneva — are served via RSI with no additional cost for the interpreter.

For events in cities outside Greater São Paulo, lingo recommends a lead time of 5–7 days for in-person events (to confirm equipment freight and logistics) and 48–72 hours for RSI events. For events requiring multiple simultaneous language channels — for example, English, Mandarin and Portuguese at a trilateral board — lingo coordinates a team of lingo interpreters, one per channel. The Zoom Language Interpretation channel supports up to 20 simultaneous interpreters, making any multi-language configuration technically feasible.
