Definition Conference
Definition 1: Conference Event: Large gathering of individuals or members of one or several
organizations, for discussing matters of common interest (Webster dictionary).
Definition 2: Participatory meeting designed for discussion, fact-finding, problem solving and
consultation (Bowdin, Allen, O'Toole, Harris, & McDonnell, 2006, p. 21).
Definition 3: An event used by any organization to meet and exchange views, convey a message,
open a debate or give publicity to some area of opinion on a specific issue. No tradition, continuity or
periodicity is required to convene a conference. Although not generally limited in time, conferences
are usually of short duration with specific objectives. Conferences are usually on a smaller scale than
congresses (Bowdin, Allen, O'Toole, Harris, & McDonnell, 2006, p. 21).
