Beyond the Booth in 2026: Five Facts About Our 22-Year Journey as a Language Service Provider

Here's Why These 5 Facts Matter for Your Next Event:

When you are planning a high-stakes global meeting or an international summit, you aren’t just looking for a language service provider who can translate words. You are looking for a professional partner with years of experience under their belt who understands that every instance of communication carries the weight of your message, your brand, or your legal standing.

Since our founding in Chicago in 2004, Interprenet has been bridging language gaps behind the scenes of the most high-stakes events and meetings around the world. As we celebrate over 20 years of providing professional language services, here are five facts about our journey that directly impact the success of your next multilingual project or event.

1. Founded by Interpreters, Built for You

Interprenet was founded in 2004 by two professional interpreters who experienced the nuances of language every day. David Medrano and Carlos Cantu-Lee launched the company in Chicago with a mission: to provide high-quality, accurate interpretation for the most demanding corporate and legal environments. Because our leadership understands the "booth experience” firsthand, we prioritize the rigorous quality and precision that high-stakes meetings demand.

The benefit to you:

You aren’t just hiring a vendor; you’re partnering with experts who understand the "on-the-ground" realities of your industry.

• Our 5-stage recruitment process ensures that every linguist assigned to your project isn't just a speaker, but a subject-matter expert.

• And our cutting-edge language technology gives you peace of mind when it comes to seamless delivery of interpretation or AI speech translation.

2. Pioneers of Your Remote Interpretation Success

In 2016, Interprenet became one of the first language service providers to offer Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI). By harnessing cloud-based technology, we broke the geographical barriers that previously limited global events, allowing interpreters to join from anywhere in the world.

The benefit to you:

You gain access to a much wider pool of professional interpreters.

• Plus, you benefit from premium language technology and an expert tech team that has mastered the most complex event setups, whether they are in-person, virtual or hybrid. This decade of experience with RSI ensures that the interpretation is seamless regardless of your setup.

• We are tech agnostic and work with your specific setup.

3. Over 1 Million Hours of Interpretation Provided

To date, Interprenet has fulfilled over 1 million hours of interpreting and completed more than 200,000 events and projects worldwide. To put that in perspective, 1 million hours is the equivalent of 114 years of non-stop, real-time communication. This volume of work across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and international diplomacy has allowed us to refine our operational excellence to a science.

The benefit to you:

• Whether you are hosting a 30-minute legal deposition or a three-day global summit, your message is backed by our expert operations.

• We maintain a 99.75% order fulfillment rate, meaning, we deliver even when the stakes—and the complexity—are highest.

4. A World of Languages at Your Fingertips

While we support frequently requested languages such as Spanish, French, or Mandarin, our network spans over 15,000 linguists covering more than 300 languages. This includes rare dialects, regional variations, and American Sign Language (ASL).

We understand that "Spanish" for a patient in Chicago may require different terminology than "Spanish" for a large event in Madrid, Spain.

The benefit to you:

No matter where your audience is or what language they speak, you have a single partner capable of scaling your global ambitions.

• You don’t need multiple vendors for different regions; we offer it all from a single source, from on-demand interpretation by phone or video to onsite and remote conference interpretation and AI speech translation.

• And let's not forget our document translation services and our technical event services.

5. Our "Human-to-Human" (H2H) Philosophy

In an era of rapid AI development, we choose to lead with a human-2-human (H2H) approach. While we offer clients a modern AI speech translation solution and speech-to-text technology, we understand that there are many instances where there’s no replacement for the “human premium” service. In high-stakes meetings and events, understanding often requires the empathy, cultural nuance, and "ear-voice gap" management that only a professional human interpreter can provide.

The benefit to you:

Our H2H approach means that we provide expert consultation to you to make sure you get the ideal language solution for your needs.

As language technology expert Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli writes, “There are conversations — those that determine lives, rights, or policies — where human trust and accountability must remain integral to the process.” By combining human expertise with technology tools, we ensure your communication is accurate, culturally appropriate, and impactful.

Choosing a language partner is about more than just delivering a language service; it’s about having a trusted partner who can customize the best technology setup for you. A team that can provide a comprehensive solution suite and not just a one-size-fits-all product.

At Interprenet, we have spent over 20 years refining our solution mix to ensure that your global ambitions are never hindered by a language barrier. Whether you need a professionally supported AI Speech Translation solution or requiring a world-class human interpreter for a high-stakes meeting, our team is ready to support your success.
