    When it comes to interpreting and translation, Kebba Jarju is a name that stands out. With over 30 years of experience and a career spent working with top international organizations, Kebba decided it was time to bring his expertise home. That's how KBJ Conferences was born—right in The Gambia, with the goal of offering high-quality language services across West Africa. From the start, Kebba began building a strong network of trusted professionals, covering a wide range of languages—including Portuguese and Arabic, two combinations that are always in demand but not easy to find. As the business grew, so did its services: KBJ Conferences now also provides top-level technical equipment for all kinds of events. Thanks to Kebba's passion, professionalism, and hands-on approach, KBJ Conferences has expanded into seven countries and continues to grow.
