St. Petersburg International Economic Forum-2025

St. Petersburg International Economic Forum-2025

I am back here after a 3 year break, hooray!

This year it has been even more exciting for me than before. I was lucky to interpret the sessions on very diverse topics:

  • Unmanned vehicles (love technologies!);
  • Charity and humanitarian aid;
  • Inclusion;
  • Cinema and TV series;
  • Culture and traditional values;
  • Dialogue and cooperation between Indonesia and Russia.

Proud to be the voice of:

  • Diana Gurtskaya and Anita Tsoy, famous singers;
  • Timur Weinstein, NTV channel producer, and Sergey Zharkov, actor;
  • Maria Kiseleva, 3-time Olympic Champion in Synchronous Swimming
  • Denis Manturov, First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia
  • and many other esteemed participants

These were very intensive, stressful, tiring, mind blowing but still very rewarding three days for me packed with challenges, joyful meetings with the colleagues I have not seen for a long time, early mornings and late nights, preparation marathons, chasing after presentations and hopefully receiving them in time, the list goes on…
The highlight of this Forum was undoubtedly when I was told by one of administrators (when I tried to get ppts copied to my USB) that we, the interpreters, cannot possibly have any issues
since we have a PROMPTER telling us all we need to say directly in our ears. This made my day for sure

III Global Dialogue International Forum of Conference Interpreters

At the III Global Dialogue International Forum of Conference Interpreters I presented on my experience as a remote simultaneous interpreter. The topic of RSI (remote simultaneous interpreting) on the whole is becoming increasingly popular: they said on the session on interpreter’s scoring that RSI platforms are expected to grow exponentially. My presentation was about advantages and disadvantages of remote interpreting; I described the working place of a remote interpreter, the challenges the interpreter can face and how to deal with them. I would like to sincerely thank my colleagues for warm welcome and support!

Louis Vuitton

Today I was employed to do whispering interpreting (simultaneous interpreting without the booth) at Louis Vuitton HQ in Moscow – GUM (state department store on the Red Square) of the training for top managers on stress management, self-organization and mindfullness. It was really interesting and I will use some of the ideas: for example, it turned out that according to a number of studies if we are multi-tasking we work 40% slower It means that it is much more efficient to complete the first task before taking another.
