JPemball equips the 43rd UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand with its interpretation booths.
La 43ᵉ Conférence générale de l’UNESCO s’est déroulée à Samarcande, en Ouzbékistan, du 30 octobre au 13 novembre, avec les délégations de plus de 190 pays. Pour assurer une communication fluide entre les langues officielles de l’UNESCO, l’événement a exigé des cabines de traduction aux normes internationales.
Cette année, l’organisation a fait appel à JPemball, expert français des cabines d’interprétation, pour une partie du dispositif technique.
The UNESCO General Conference: a global event where interpretation is essential
The General Conference is a flagship event of UNESCO. Every two years, it brings together:
Member States,
ministers,
diplomats,
experts in education, culture and science,
international organizations.
It is during this conference that the organization’s strategic decisions are made.
With so many countries represented, the success of the discussions depends on one key factor: flawless simultaneous interpretation, made possible by professional interpretation booths.
Why does UNESCO rely on JPemball for its interpretation booths?
JPemball is recognized by its peers as a trusted partner for international organizations and major players in the event industry. Its expertise is built on two key pillars:
ISO 17651-2:2024 compliant interpretation booths
JPemball interpretation booths comply with the ISO 17651-2:2024 standard, the international reference for:
sound insulation,
ventilation,
lighting,
interpreter comfort,
sound quality delivered to technical control rooms.
They provide an ideal working environment to ensure high-quality conferences and flawless interpretation.
A robust and scalable design
For this edition of the General Conference, JPemball manufactured 60 interpretation booths, deployed across several locations throughout the city.
A true logistical and industrial achievement: all 60 units were produced in a record time of just two months.
Each booth is designed to be:
robust,
easy to assemble,
adaptable to different types of venues,
resistant to the constraints of international transport.
As proof of this ease of use, all booths were fully assembled in the workshop beforehand, then installed on site by technicians without any direct intervention from JPemball — a true guarantee of practicality and reliability.
A technical installation in the heart of Samarkand
The setting was exceptional: Samarkand, a historic city on the Silk Road.
Despite architectural, transport and security constraints, the interpretation booths were installed to ensure:
a clear view of the speakers,
excellent acoustic performance,
full compatibility with multilingual audio systems.
Each booth was pre-assembled, tested and validated to guarantee flawless operation throughout the entire conference.
French expertise serving global dialogue
With its professional interpretation booths, JPemball contributed to the success of one of the year’s major diplomatic events.
In Samarkand, as elsewhere, the company demonstrates its ability to deliver:
equipment that meets international standards,
reliable logistics,
uncompromising quality.
A French expertise that continues to travel the world and give voice to international dialogue.
