regional conference

Area-wide professional gathering

A regional conference is a gathering of people from a particular geographic area who share professional, religious, or organizational ties.

Unlike national or international conferences, regional ones draw attendees from a more limited territory—perhaps a state, province, or cluster of neighboring areas.

The Southeast regional conference focused on issues specific to coastal communities.

Such events allow for more targeted discussion and easier travel for participants.
