A scientific meeting held to discuss a specific topic with several talking points, in which the participants present research papers and working papers approved by the Conference Scientific Committee, and usually concludes with recommendations. It consists of discussion sessions, lectures, or workshops, and the materials are presented through visual presentations, speeches, dialogue, or discussion. The conference may include organizing an accompanying exhibition for sponsors, supporters, and collaborators only. The conference does not require continuity, annual frequency, or specifying a specific time during the year.
It is considered a “Convention” if the conferences will accompany a trade exhibition or consumer goods exhibition.
