Flowchart deciding if an event is a colloquium or a conference.
Transcript
Is it trying quite hard to be "prestigious"?
Yes
You're at a colloquium. Tell the organisers how fancy it all is and how impressed you are.
No
You're at a conference. Look interested and if you're feeling brave ask someone "What are the applications of your work?"
