KQ Sign language interpretation
Sign Language Interpretation at Kenya Airways' 50th Annual General Meeting
In June 2026, Ateric Translations provided professional sign language interpretation services at the Kenya Airways Pride Centre in Embakasi, Nairobi, during the airline's 50th Annual General Meeting (AGM), held on 12th June 2026.
The Kenya Airways AGM is one of the most closely watched corporate governance events in East Africa's aviation and capital markets sector. As a publicly listed company on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya Airways PLC convenes the meeting annually to present its financial performance, seek shareholder approval on key resolutions, and engage directly with the individual and institutional investors who hold a stake in the national carrier.
This year's AGM was hosted at the KQ Pride Centre, Kenya Airways' state-of-the-art training and conference facility near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and brought together shareholders, board members, executive leadership, the company secretary, auditors, and regulators, alongside members of the press.
Ateric Translations was engaged to provide professional sign language interpretation throughout the proceedings, ensuring that Deaf and hard-of-hearing shareholders could follow and participate in the meeting on equal footing with every other attendee.
Our interpreters rendered the Chair's opening remarks, the presentation of audited financial statements, the tabling and voting on resolutions, and the open-floor Q&A session in real time, working alongside the meeting's official proceedings so that no part of the discussion was lost in translation.
Our sign language interpretation process
- Pre-event preparation, including review of the AGM notice, agenda, and financial and legal terminology likely to arise
- On-site, real-time interpretation of all formal proceedings, from the Chair's address to resolution voting
- Interpretation of shareholder interventions and the Q&A session
- Coordination with the event's AV and production team to ensure clear, unobstructed visibility of the interpreter for all attendees who needed it
- Post-event debrief with the client on accessibility feedback and recommendations for future meetings
By providing professional sign language interpretation, Ateric helped Kenya Airways uphold its commitment to inclusive shareholder engagement, ensuring that company governance is accessible to all investors regardless of hearing ability.
Accessibility support of this kind is increasingly expected of listed companies across the region as part of good corporate governance and disability-inclusive practice.
Ateric Translations continues to support companies, corporates, and public institutions with expert sign language interpretation, translation, and conference support services. Whether you are hosting an AGM, a public forum, or a national event, our team ensures every voice in the room is seen, heard, and understood.
