Why is English the language of the conference?

Whenever there is a choice, English is consistently preferred by our audience and speakers. Less than 2% of the attendees used simultaneous translation facilities English to Spanish when we offered them. Speakers, even the native Spanish ones, do show the same bias to English when asked which language they choose to speak at the event.

Do you offer simultaneous translation facilities English to Spanish?

No, we don’t. Please see the question above for further details.
