Conference terminology

Converia explains conference terminology

What is a breakout session? What exactly is a keynote? And how specific should an abstract be? With our new "Converia Explains" article series, we will be gradually breaking down key terms from the world of academic conferences.

Kicking off our new article series

We want to help conference management novices overcome hurdles on their way to organizing their first successful event, while hopefully providing seasoned professionals with a little extra insight along the way.

If you have any requests for terms you would like us to explain, please feel free to send them to info@converia.de.

We are kicking off the series with an explanation of the term abstract.
