International Association of Conference Interpreters

Since the early days of modern conference interpreting, AIIC has promoted high standards of quality and ethics in the profession and represented the interests of its practitioners.

The association has a strict admissions procedure based on a peer review system, intended to guarantee high-quality interpreting and professionalism.

AIIC members are required to abide by the association's code of ethics and its professional standards.

It is also involved in other areas of the profession, such as: AIIC has joined forces with IAPTI, Red T and FIT in an effort to put pressure on governments to ensure the long-term safety of linguists who served their troops in Afghanistan.
