   1. Differentiate Conference, Colloquium and Forum
           Conference- A conference is a much larger gathering, usually at a large venue, involving a
              whole series of meetings – generally a mixture of forums, seminars, presentations of
              reports, and (possibly) debates – along with opportunities for even less formal
              discussions, such as simply being in the same bar as someone in your field that you
              haven’t met before.
              A forum (named after the Roman marketplace where citizens would gather) is a
               adiscussion group, where ideas related to a subject ‘under discussion’ can be raised and
               evaluated on a (more-or-less) equal and informal basis.
              A colloquium is an academic conference or meeting. At a colloquium, you’ll spend a
               couple of days listening to lectures with a group of people who all know a lot about one
               particular subject.
