>There was a question the other day on the Fox Wiki about whether or not these events you are going to would be considered "conferences". Would you call them that?

What is the difference between a one day event or a conference? I suppose that is subjective, and I also suppose it really doesn't matter what it is called. I think generally a conference has multiple tracks and multiple days, but then some events have more attendees than full conferences. Also, conferences are often pay events while the only pay event I spoke at was in Prague (but it is only like $75 to attend all 3 days which includes lunch and a big dinner out, etc). Prague had 410, Budapest had 150, Bucharest 110, and Sofia about 1000 just in my session alone (1400 for that free 2-day event total).
