Inclusive Communication Services did an amazing job at Cannes Lions Festival for me and my team. They treated us with so much kindness and made sure we had full access to interpreters the whole time. It honestly felt like everything was normal. I got all the information I needed, didn’t feel left out, and could actually enjoy the event without stressing. The team and interpreters were fun, friendly, and just really awesome to work with. Big thanks to all of them

Fantastic first ASL interpretation experience

Inclusive Communication Services was fantastic. They provided two ASL interpreters for a public, two-person artist talk at our small nonprofit exhibition space. Communication with the coordinating team was super quick and efficient responding to our inquiry and getting us set up, and the interpreters were fantastically warm and engaged with the content of our program. This was our first time providing ASL for a program and we will definitely use Inclusive Communication Services in the future as we work to improve our programming's accessibility.

Accessibility is an essential part of inclusion, and Inclusive Communication Services delivered it with excellence at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France. Their ASL interpreting, CART captioning, and service coordination teams supported our conference stages, networking spaces, and last-minute changes with calm professionalism and deep care. That’s what true inclusion feels like.

ICS has a wonderful coordinator by the name of Aitana. She recently coordinated a team of captioners to close caption the Cannes Lions International Festival 2025, festival/conference Aitana made sure that accessibility/CART was the the forefront and knew what her team needed every session to do their best. Hooray for Aitana! Great job!

Aitana's communication skills are wonderful as she kept in touch with the CART providers and responded to questions promptly. She organized schedules and helped with technical/audio issues. This took her quick-thinking and problem-solving skills to resolve. Aitana is great to work with!

ICS is perfect for our event! This is the second year we have hired ICS to interpret the main stage of our Pocono Pride Festival. They were incredibly easy to work with, we discussed ways to improve from last year, and they even sent a report on how we can improve again for next year! With hours of diverse entertainment, bands, drag shows, group performances, and announcements, ICS was ready to spread the word! ICS is professional, flexible, courteous, thorough, and incredibly friendly. We cant wait to work together for next year!

ICS was so great and helpful! We wanted to include an ASL interpreted show for a play we were performing as part of the NYC Fringe Festival, and ICS was willing to give us a discount in order to work with our budget (and thats considering the fact that they're already pretty affordable compared to the standard interpreting prices). The Interpretors were very friendly and did a great job. They were very understanding when we had technical issues and short turn around during show prep times, were able to accommodate us in having an interpretor who understood some Spanish phrases (one character had minor Spanish incorporated into their lines), and were very supportive of our show in general. I hadn't had the chance to work with interpretors before, and it was just a supportive experience. Can't recommend working with them enough ❤️

I called ICS with a last-minute request for interpreters for a graduation ceremony taking place the next day. They worked with me after business hours and were able to quickly find me interpreters. The interpreters were prompt, easy to work with, and highly professional. ICS truly saved the day for me, and I highly recommend them for customer-friendly, responsive service!

We had a wonderful experience working with Shelby and Inclusive Communication Services for a second time for our theatre performances. Just like the first time, Shelby was incredibly communicative and friendly, and helped secure interpreters who were the right fit for the show. The interpreters took the time to get to know the show really well and clearly put a lot of care into the work. It was a joy to collaborate with them to make the show more accessible and we hope to do so again soon on a future production!

We had an exceptional experience working with Inclusive Communication Services on a big event last June. They were generous partners for our benefit fundraiser, with a very clear process for preparing the interpreters with the songs they were interpreting. The staff at ICS along with the interpreters carried themselves with the utmost professionalism, adaptability, and friendliness. We look forward to working with them again!

Inclusive Communication Services was a joy to work with. Their communications were informative and timely. Not only do they do important work for the deaf community but they helped our organization expand our patronage to include the deaf community. It is The Barn Players wish to not exclude anyone from the magic of live theatre. Inclusive Communication Services made that happen.

ICS not only provided essential services at the New York Comic-Con, but created a welcoming space for gamers of all walks of life.
