Language Support

There will be simultaneous translation - where translators are working on-site to translate at the same time as the speaker talks as you wear a headphone. It will be in 4 languages -English, French, Spanish and Japanese - at the most of the sessions.

The language support provided each of the International Committees will be decided by them, so please check individual Committee websites for details. See the program schedule for information on interpretation at each session. Click here for details.

Sound Support System

Throughout the Conference we’ll be using a fantastic sound support system called Omotenashi Guide. It’s a smartphone app that delivers subtitles in directly to your phone. It’s available in lots of different languages – and as bonus is that you can even use it to help you understand Japanese announcements in Supported Spots around the country. Please download and try out the app ahead of time. Click here for all the info.

Wheelchair

ICC Kyoto is a barrier-free facility, including the following features:
- Elevators and ramps for those using wheelchairs
- Universal lavatories for those using wheelchairs and equipped to aid ostomates

Prayer Room

There will be two prayer rooms (male and female) available at our main venue, the Kyoto International Conference Center. You’ll be able to find all the details in the Conference Program on the day.

Dietary Information

Although vegetarianism isn’t quite as common in Japan as some other parts of the world, you’ll find that plenty of Japanese food is deliciously vegetarian. We have ensured that we will have a vegetarian menu available for all the conference lunches. At our social events, all the ingredients of each dish will be specified allowing you to make a decision about what is right for you.
