This paper examines conference preparation (CP) as a skill which veteran interpreters learn and perfect over time. It sets CP in the context of processing models and expertise studies, and identifies the centrality of acquiring knowledge to both subject matter and meeting context and dynamics. Components of CP are identified and discussed. A proposal for a short course on CP is outlined and illustrated in the framework of a simulated session based on an actual conference. While a flexible structure is suggested to make the course adaptable to different curricular and student needs, core ideas are discussed on how CP skills can be introduced to students to facilitate their transition to the world of work.
