Back from #AIICLima25 with indelible memories of Lima!

I was today years old when I learned (from Mary Fons at #AIICLima25) that you can restrict searches online to specific websites by adding "site:site.extension" - for example "DDC site:aiic.org"

How useful!

A final ovation for our #IAB Independent Advisory Bureau, that ran our meeting very well at #AIICLima25

Successive standing ovations at #AIICLima25 for our volunteer interpreters, our Executive Secretary and his team, and the local organizers!

Luckily enough, I was able to go to a monument among restaurants in Lima during #AIICLima25 - Astrid y Gastón - and had an amazing meal.

More than 1 table was filled with Assembly groups...

For those wondering why there is so much procedure, keep in mind that we are an assembly that works according to Robert's Rules of Order - which keeps us going through motions, resolutions, etc.

If you want to be a #conf1nt, familiarize yourself with them!

The #AIICLima25 Assembly is wrapping up today. We have not been able to vote on everything on the agenda this week, but will keep on working in the future FOR the future of the profession.

At #AIICLima25 we were very frustrated by the voting system. Voting on several resolutions was postponed.

The external provider has stepped up to the plate, and worked on the system overnight.

🤞for today!

The Cambridge Conference Interpretation Course #CCIC had a reunion cocktail while at #AIICLima25. There had to be 25 of us throughout the evening, along with at least a other 5 who couldn't make it.!

Thanks to everyone who came!

A few of the (partial in some cases) groups, delegations, and sector representatives at #AIICLima25 - Brazil, Belgium, Oh Canada, and the DDC.

And look how well the venue welcomed us at #AIICLima25!

At #AIICLima25, during votes on resolutions & amendments is the only time we ever hear silence in a roomful of interpreters, because our rules require that we not speak to each other.

Otherwise, when we go for the coffee break, you are hit by a wall of sound 😱
