The style can be as formal or relaxed as the client wishes. It all depends on the location, the set up and the speaker(s)’ style.
Use a conference as a generic introduction to a day of workshops, enabling people to move naturally from the receipt of information to the exchange of ideas and solutions.
Use a conference as an add-on to a training course or preparatory business trip to reinforce the learning of specific topics. For example, in preparation for a business trip to China, set up a conference inviting speakers who have relevant experience and knowledge to share.
