International business work
Gulfood 2026: B2B support in Dubai
In January 2026 I worked for four days at a company stand at Gulfood 2026 in Dubai, held from 26–30 January across Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City Dubai. I assisted a Georgian company with Russian-English interpreting, client communication, product presentation, and translation of marketing materials. My role included speaking with potential buyers, explaining the company’s products, coordinating meetings, preparing leads, and helping the team approach international clients. Since the company had limited international exhibition experience, I also provided practical B2B support for new business opportunities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider Gulf market.
Blockchain and Bitcoin Conference, Geneva
For an international conference in London, I interpret on site, so what your speakers say reaches the room accurately. Tell me the dates and the subject and I will confirm.
iGB L!VE: delegations from Kazakhstan and Russia
For two years I worked as a Russian–English interpreter at the international iGB L!VE exhibition, including for delegations from Kazakhstan and Russia. I provided whispered interpreting (chuchotage) at every session the delegates I accompanied attended, so they could follow the talks and professional discussions in real time. More on this work: interpreting at the ICE gaming exhibition in London and iGB L!VE in London on UKDOM (both in Russian).
Current work in the UAE: Russian–English–Arabic interpreter in Abu Dhabi, interpreter at ADIPEC 2026 and interpreter in Dubai and the UAE (page in Russian). In London: concierge and assistant services.
