	Academic Conferences
		An academic conference is a forum for researchers (not always academics) to share their work.
		The main difference between an academic conference and an SCA teaching venue, such as a university session or collegium, is that conference presentations are not classes.
		The professional conference is similar to the learned society or association conference in that it usually presents several sessions of papers over the space of two to three days, but what distinguishes these conferences is the large degree of business that takes place during the conference, often including interviewing of candidates for academic positions.

		advice for first-time conference attendees, which is complementary to this document.
		In addition to socializing with colleagues from other institutions and a trip to a possibly exotic locale, the two main reasons to attend a conference are to hear presentations and to converse with other researchers.
