International Association of Conference Interpreters
The International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), based in Geneva, Switzerland, was founded in 1953. AIIC, which has over 3,000 members, has the singular characteristic of being the only international association of interpreters represented across six continents.
AIIC Africa, comprising Central, East, Southern and West Africa was established in February 1979. Our 176 members, from diverse backgrounds, are held in high regard globally and provide interpretation services at conferences, meetings and workshops of international, continental and regional organisations, as well government and non-governmental institutions.
We are pleased to provide further information about conference interpreting in the Africa region. Click here to contact us.

This three-part training series by AIIC Africa explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and interpretation. From foundational concepts to ethical considerations and hands-on tool demonstrations, interpreters will gain the knowledge and skills needed to adapt and thrive in an AI-enhanced profession.
Registration is now open for the Lome course.
AIIC Training and Professional Development (ATPD) and AIIC’s Sign Language Network (SLN) are teaming up to offer a webinar on Sign Language Interpretation (SLI).
The Rumble in the Jungle was more than just a clash between two heavyweight champions, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, it was a battle of wits, courage, and resilience that continues to inspire, 50 years later.
Events where we work include high-level political meetings, delegation visits, technical conferences, congresses, symposiums, AGMs, meetings of governing bodies, broadcasts on television, radio and new media, negotiations, meetings of sports federations, international trade union events, meetings of international organizations and many more.
