The third international Critical Link conference was held in Montreal in 2001 from May 22 to May 26. The conference theme was Interpreting in the Community: The Complexity of the Profession.
The program, attracting more than four hundred participants from twenty countries, included 80 paper presentations, 4 plenary sessions, 6 workshops, and 2 round table discussions. Simultaneous interpretation in French and English as well as in five forms of sign language was provided at most of the sessions.
Pre-conference workshops in the form of six three-hour sessions focussed on sign language, pre-interpreting skills and consecutive, legal and telephone interpreting. All of the 115 participants in this pre-conference program received a continuing education certificate from the Université de Montréal.
