Conferencebased

Conferencebased, often written conference-based, is an adjective used to describe practices, systems, or outcomes that are anchored to or organized around a conference or series of conferences. It denotes an event-driven orientation in which the conference serves as a focal point for communication, decision making, collaboration, or dissemination.

In scholarly contexts, conferencebased dissemination refers to results first presented at conferences and subsequently integrated into formal publications. Conference-based programs or curricula emphasize learning activities that occur within or around conference sessions, including seminars, workshops, and poster discussions. In professional and technological settings, the term can describe workflows, partnerships, or feedback mechanisms that are framed by conference schedules—such as demonstrations, panel discussions, or networking events that shape later work.

Variations in spelling and usage are common. The term may appear as conferencebased, conference-based, or conference based, with the hyphenated form being more typical in formal writing. The choice often depends on house style or disciplinary conventions, rather than a fixed meaning.
