Need a language other than English or Chinese? We can arrange interpreters: contact us with the languages you need and we will confirm availability and quote.
What we do at the event
Represent your business
At your stand and in pre-arranged meetings, we introduce your company and products in Chinese, using the key messages agreed with you beforehand.
Interpret every conversation
Consecutive interpreting in both directions, including the context and the side remarks that a literal interpretation loses.
Negotiate on your brief
Commercial terms pressed within the authority you set in writing, with local context on what is usual and what is worth holding out for.
A written record, every day
Who you met, what they asked, what was offered or agreed, and the follow-up list, sent the same evening.
How an engagement runs
- Brief. Your objectives for the event, your products, the meetings already booked, and what we may and may not say or agree on your behalf.
- Preparation. Key messages and product points in Chinese, and a meeting schedule, agreed with you before the doors open.
- At the event. With your team at the stand and in meetings, or representing you on your brief if you cannot travel.
- After the event. The written records and a follow-up list. Follow-up meetings and negotiations are quoted before they start.
