Comms Multilingual is delighted to be exhibiting at the I.C.E. Exchange conference 2026, taking place from October 19–22 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
You will find our President and CEO, Sue Orchard, and Business Development Director, Steffie Danquigny, at Booth 310. They look forward to connecting with credentialing professionals and discussing how organisations can deliver effective, fair, and defensible programmes across languages and markets.
Bringing the credentialing community together
Organised by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, the I.C.E. Exchange conference brings together professionals working across certification, licensure, assessment, and credentialing.
The conference provides an important opportunity for the community to share knowledge, explore industry developments, and discuss the practical challenges involved in developing and delivering high-quality credentialing programmes.
As organisations extend their reach internationally, multilingual delivery becomes an increasingly important part of these conversations. Translating an examination or certification programme involves much more than replacing words in one language with their equivalents in another. Language, culture, and context can all influence how candidates interpret and respond to content.
Supporting fair and effective multilingual programmes
Comms Multilingual has extensive experience supporting assessment providers, certification bodies, and other credentialing organisations with multilingual content.
Our work combines specialist linguistic expertise with an understanding of the quality, validity, and comparability requirements involved in assessment and credentialing. Depending on the needs of a programme, this can include translation and localisation, cultural adaptation, translatability and bias review, linguistic validation, translation verification, and the careful use of technology alongside human expertise.
The aim is to help organisations create multilingual programmes that are clear and appropriate for their intended audiences while preserving the purpose and integrity of the original content.
This is particularly important when an organisation is entering new markets or extending access to candidates from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. A considered approach can help support accessibility and consistency while reducing avoidable cultural or linguistic barriers.
Meet Sue and Steffie at Booth 310
Sue Orchard, President and CEO, and Steffie Danquigny, Business Development Director, will be available throughout the exhibition to discuss the multilingual needs of credentialing and assessment programmes.
Whether you are considering your first international market, reviewing an established translation process, or exploring how human expertise and technology can work together, Sue and Steffie would be pleased to learn more about your organisation’s objectives.
Topics you can discuss with them include:
- Translating and localising certification and assessment content;
- Adapting materials for different cultural contexts;
- Supporting fairness, validity, and comparability across languages;
- Building a reliable and scalable multilingual workflow;
- Balancing technology with appropriate linguistic and subject-matter expertise; and
- Supporting the international growth of a credentialing programme.

We look forward to seeing you in Providence!
