Determine whether the conference is named (21.1B1 and RI).

Expressions of the type "Chicago Conference" and "Colloque de Tours" are not
 considered named conferences because they contain no subject matter words (per
 e-mail message from CPSO)

Omit from the name of the conference indications of number, frequency, e.g.,
 annual, or year(s) (rule 24.7A). Retain an abbreviated form of year if the
 conference name combines an acronym or initialism with an abbreviated year
 unless the conference is ongoing and the name remains the same for each
 conference except for the abbreviated year and the proceedings are cataloged
 as a serial. In that case, add a qualifier, e.g., "Conference" to the heading
    (RI 24.7A).

Determine whether the conference is ongoing.

If it is, do not add number/date/place qualifier to the name unless the
heading conflicts (RI 24.7B).

	If it is not, add number/date/place according to rule and RI 24.7B.
  Special rules and RIs cover headings for multiple meetings of a conference 
    in the same year, multiple locations, choice of location. (Cf. ??? )

Determine whether the conference will be entered directly or 
subordinately
 (rule and RI 24.13, Type 6).

To be entered subordinately, the conference name can include no more than the 
name of the corporate body, a generic term for the meeting, and one or more of
the following elements: the venue of the meeting, number, date, or other 
sequencing element.

110:2 : |a British Geomorphological Research Group. |b General Meeting
411:2 : |a General Meeting of the British Geomorphological Research Group	   
      (generic term may be multiple words)

but

111:2 : |a World Trade Organisation Ministerial Meeting
410:2 : |a World Trade Organization. |b Ministerial Meeting

Conference is entered directly because the difference in spelling of the
word "Organisation" disqualifies it as a Type 6.

Subordinate units of conferences are entered in subfield e following qualifiers.

111:2 : |a Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar. 
        |e General Assembly

111:2 : |a Centennial Exhibition |d (1876 : |c Philadelphia, Pa.). |e Dept. of
        Education and Science. |e Massachusetts Exhibit


References

Make see references from variant forms of the conference that appear in the 
item cataloged.  Make see also references from related conferences.

If the first word of the heading is the name or abbreviation of the sponsor, 
make an inverted reference from the following word. Make an inverted reference from 
the "conference" term in the heading (e.g., Meeting, symposium, workshop, etc.) 
unless the term is the last word in the heading. Make inverted references from 
intermediate terms if such references are judged to be useful. Omit 
number/date/place qualifiers from inverted references of one-time conferences. If 
the conference is entered subordinately under 24.13, Type 6, make a reference from 
the direct name of the conference.
