Conferences In The United States
A conference is a meeting of two or more experts to discuss and exchange opinions or new information about a particular topic. Conferences can be used as a form of group decision-making, although discussion, not always decisions, are the main purpose of conferences. History The first known use of "conference" appears in 1527, meaning "a meeting of two or more persons for discussing matters of common concern".

Since the 1960s, conferences have become a lucrative sector of the tourism indus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
