About the 2025 Conference
Court Language Access Services is excited to be hosting our 10th Pacific Northwest Court Interpreter Conference! We have a fantastic line up of presenters and workshops, and are looking forward to reconnecting, networking, and learning together.
This year's conference has something for everyone, regardless of your experience level, or where you are on your court interpreter journey. There will be skill building opportunities for advanced and novice interpreters, and discussions about ethics and vicarious trauma that are applicable to all court interpreters. There is also an entire session devoted to preparing for the Oral Exam for individuals pursuing the Oregon Certified Court Interpreter Credential.
The Conference will be held at the Holiday Inn in Wilsonville. The conference will not have a reserved room block, but lodging is available.
