Japan Association of Conference Interpreters (JACI)

The Japan Association of Conference Interpreters, established on April 1, 2015, is a non-profit organization operated by conference interpreters for the benefit of conference interpreters—the first and only kind in existence in Japan. The Association’s activities include exchange of professional and industry information among members, collection and dissemination of interpreting-related information, events, outreach and other social initiatives, and creation of text and video contents, in order to educate interpreters and raise their social status. Although the organization is still in its infancy, the Association is fully committed to making a positive contribution to the industry for the long term. All those in the industry are welcome to join.
