What this is
This is a specialized interpreter training workshop focused on investor relations (IR) communication, using consecutive interpretation techniques in simulated corporate meeting scenarios. Participants work through realistic Q&A sessions using Sekisui Chemical as a live case study, tackling complex business portfolios, B2B models, strategic narratives, and ESG-related investor topics. The workshop addresses a growing niche in the professional interpretation market — the ability to handle the precise, high-stakes language of corporate IR meetings. Attendees are required to watch a foundational IR video of approximately one hour prior to the session. This format bridges the gap between general business interpretation and the specialized demands of investor-facing corporate communication.
Who should go
This workshop is best suited for working professional interpreters who want to specialize in corporate finance and investor relations contexts. Aspiring interpreters with solid foundational skills who are looking to break into the business and financial sectors will also find it highly relevant. The atmosphere is practical and skills-focused rather than lecture-heavy, with simulated meeting scenarios that closely mirror real-world IR environments. Be sure to complete the required one-hour IR foundation video before attending — it is a prerequisite, not optional.
