If you are interested to participate in the conference, you will submit a paper to the organizers. They will pass it on the members of the scientific committee and decide whether your paper can be accepted or not. You should get an acceptance or rejection message before a fixed deadline. With your letter of acceptance, you can ask for funding for travel, accommodation, and conference registration, all of which can be pretty expensive.

Sometimes papers can be accepted either for oral presentation, or as posters. At a designated time, you will be expected to stand near your poster in order to be able to answer eventual questions about it.

If your paper/poster is accepted, you may be asked to prepare a final document version of it for publication in the conference proceedings. Proceedings are typically published as stand-alone volumes, though sometimes they are turned into special issues of journals, or published only electronically on the web.

The conference organizers produce a detailed conference program which typically includes the following sections:

• 
  registration: where you pay or confirm payment of the registration fee, and in return receive a badge identifying you as participant, plus documentation such as the latest program, invitations to social events, etc;
  
• 
  plenary sessions: general opening and closing of the conference, panel discussions, and talks by "invited" speakers, the so-called renowned experts in the domain;
  
• 
  parallel sessions: more specialized sessions with "contributing" speakers that take place simultaneously in different rooms (such sessions or "symposia" are organized by their chairperson, who is responsible for the focus and the selection of contributors);
  
• 
  social events: coffee breaks, lunches, receptions, conference dinner, excursions, etc.
  

Typical international conferences last 3-5 days, starting around noon on the first day to give participants the time to register, and ending on the afternoon of the last day, with sometimes a half-day break in the middle for a touristic excursion. Smaller conferences (workshops) may not have parallel sessions, social events.
