Tips for attending conferences

Start with the call for papers: check the topics, abstract deadline, review process and where accepted papers are published. Look at the organizing committee and past programmes, and be cautious with events that accept every submission within days or promise indexing they cannot prove.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a conference and a symposium?

A conference usually covers a broad field with many parallel sessions. A symposium is smaller and focuses on one subject, often with invited experts. The terms overlap, and some large events use both.

How do I find conferences with an open call for papers?

Open an event page and follow the link to the official organizer website, where the call for papers, topics and submission deadlines are published. Submit your abstract or full paper before the deadline.

Can students attend international conferences?

Yes. Most conferences offer reduced student registration, and many have student sessions, poster competitions or travel grants.

ConferenceInc currently lists 531 upcoming conferences worldwide. The list is updated daily as organizers add new events.
