The AIDEAF team had an incredible experience as a Platinum Sponsor at the ALC Unconference in San Juan, Puerto Rico! 🌴

Thank you to everyone who made this experience so memorable, we’re proud to be part of a community that values inclusion and communication. 💙

Take me back to San Juan! 😍 The ALC 14th Annual UnConference was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. The "UnConference" format meant skipping the long slides and jumping straight into meaningful, peer-to-peer sharing. Thank you to the Association of Language Companies for such an inspiri...

Last week, part of our team traveled to New Orleans for the 23rd ALC Summit! It wasn't just all beignets and Hurricanes! We had the opportunity to listen to and learn from so many accomplished leaders in the language industry. It was both energizing and humbling. We left with not only fresh insights but also with new colleagues who quickly became friends.

AIDEAF Connect was honored to provide the ASL interpreters for the Summit, and our team walked away deeply grateful for the experience and inspired by the spirit of collaboration that defines this community.

And one final thought: every conference deserves to end with a parade. Let’s call that the new standard. 🎉

AIDEAF was proud to be part of the RID National Convention, connecting with interpreters, advocates, and leaders from across the country. We left feeling inspired, energized, and more committed than ever to our mission of bridging the communication gap between the Deaf and hearing communities.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, shared their stories, and explored future collaborations. We’re grateful to be working alongside such a passionate and driven community.

Until next time, RID! 💙
