What makes you feel proud to be an interpreter?
What inspires you?
The CFI conference provides a unique opportunity for court interpreters to come together from all over California and every corner of the country. For the last 3 years, over 300 professional interpreters have broadened their knowledge on interpreting skills, terminology, criminal and civil topics from nationally recognized speakers. Our conference price includes catered breakfasts and lunches, so you can take full advantage of the weekend to network and catch up with colleagues.
Why settle for less?
