Planning for large events with interpreters

When organizing events that need sign language interpretation, it’s crucial to allocate sufficient resources ahead of time. I recently coordinated a conference for about 300 participants, and we found that having at least three interpreters on-site for a large panel discussion was essential to ensure everyone was accommodated. What has your experience been with interpreter scheduling for significant events?
