Taking the stress out of European Works Council meetings
If you’ve been tasked with organising a European Works Council (EWC) meeting, our event management service will support you every step of the way.
We’ll handle every detail – from choosing the perfect venue to sourcing world-class interpreters – so that you can focus your time and energy on strategically shaping the agenda.
We specialise in meetings held in the UK, Italy and Ireland, where we’ve built a curated portfolio of trusted venues and suppliers
Your personal project manager for European Works Council meetings
Our founder, Luciana Scrofani Green, will act as your project concierge.
She’ll personally oversee the planning and delivery of your meeting, providing you with a single point of contact so you don’t have to liaise with multiple suppliers.
After leading interpreting teams for EWC meetings for more than a decade, Luciana knows exactly what’s needed to run a successful gathering.
She’ll carefully prepare contingency plans to cover all eventualities, so you won’t have to worry if the wifi drops or one of your executives needs to dial in at the last minute. Our team will quickly and quietly resolve any issues.
Let us handle all the logistical details, so you can focus on securing a positive outcome in the negotiations.
How we work
We work with a limited number of EWC clients each year to ensure we can provide you with a personalised, highly responsive service. Here’s how our process works:
1. Capturing your vision
Luciana will listen carefully to your needs, ideas, and budget. She’ll share her expert advice and recommendations, empowering you to make the right decisions for your company.
2. Turning your vision into reality
Luciana will craft a meticulous plan that covers every detail. She’ll liaise with your venue and brief a handpicked team of AV and technical experts, interpreters, and any other suppliers needed to bring the plan to life.
3. Keeping you in the loop
Regular meetings ensure you’re always well-informed – without being overwhelmed with planning minutiae. Luciana’s always just a phone call away if you have any urgent queries.
4. Seamless delivery
Luciana will arrive on site the day before the meeting. On the day, she’ll oversee the set-up, coordinate the interpreting and technical team and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Everything you need to run a successful EWC meeting
Whether you’re flying everyone to a single location, meeting virtually, or hosting a hybrid meeting, we’ll provide everything you need.
We’ll source, brief, and coordinate your interpreting team, and work with a trusted partner to organise everything from tech setup to accommodation booking.
We can provide professional translation of EWC reports and presentations in the run-up to the meeting. Afterwards, we can provide notes and summaries of the discussion, translated as needed.

Hand-picked interpreters working in 27 European languages
Our EWC interpreters are among the best in the business.
As a minimum, all our interpreters have a graduate-level interpreting qualification and 10+ years of experience, including three to four years of experience specifically focused on European Works Council meetings.
Luciana personally selects interpreters not only for their flawless language skills, but for their high emotional intelligence, diplomacy, and ability to remain calm under pressure.
You can rest assured that we have every detail covered. If an interpreter falls ill, we’ll arrange a qualified backup.
We provide experienced interpreting pairs for each language combination, ensuring that delegates always have a fresh and focused interpreter by their side.
Your trusted business partner for EWC meetings
Many of our clients return to us year after year for support with their EWC meetings. Our interpreters build a warm rapport with your employees and executives, helping everyone in the room feel more at ease. We’ve noticed that a relaxed atmosphere often leads to a more constructive, productive meeting.
Another reason we’ve been so successful in retaining clients is our proactive research and preparation. We’ll ask you to provide detailed information on the agenda, the speaker list, and any reports or presentations to be shared during the meeting.
We use this to create in-depth briefings for our interpreters, so they’re familiar with the issues to be discussed and have translations for any key terminology.
All the information you share with be treated with the strictest confidence, in line with our strict privacy protocols.
