specialist conference
A conference or symposium for experts from a particular professional or academic field to exchange views on current developments.
Nächstes Jahr findet die internationale Fachtagung für Kardiologie in Berlin statt.
Next year, the international specialist conference for cardiology will take place in Berlin.
This word is made up of 'das Fach' (specialized field) and 'die Tagung' (conference). A 'Fachtagung' is therefore a conference for experts on a particular topic.
Die Anmeldung für die Fachtagung ist ab sofort möglich.
Registration for the specialist conference is now open.
Common verbs used in connection with a 'Fachtagung' (specialist conference) are 'an einer Fachtagung teilnehmen' (to take part in a specialist conference), 'eine Fachtagung besuchen' (to attend a specialist conference), 'eine Fachtagung veranstalten' (to organize a specialist conference), or 'stattfinden' (to take place).
Viele Wissenschaftler nehmen an der jährlichen Fachtagung teil.
Many scientists take part in the annual specialist conference.
To name the topic of the conference, you usually use the preposition 'für' (for) or 'zu' (on/about). Sometimes the topic is also placed directly before the word.
Er hält einen Vortrag auf der Fachtagung für Umwelttechnik.
He is giving a talk at the specialist conference for environmental technology.
conference
'die Konferenz' and 'die Fachtagung' can both be formal events where people talk about specific topics. 'Konferenz' is broader and can take place in politics, business, academia, or within an organization. 'Fachtagung' is more precise: it is aimed at specialists from a particular professional or academic field. The words can be confused because a specialist conference is often also a type of conference. If you are speaking generally about a larger meeting, 'Konferenz' fits. If the specialist exchange among experts is the main focus, 'Fachtagung' is more precise.
Auf der Fachtagung stellen Ärztinnen und Ärzte neue Behandlungsmethoden vor.
At the specialist conference, doctors present new treatment methods.
