Group meetings of global corporations are a lively affair, usually in many languages. Even if you officially have a standardised corporate language, you can achieve a positive additional effect with interpreting services - because experience has shown that many participants feel more comfortable speaking in their native language and appreciate this offer as a well-intentioned gesture for a special occasion.
