What are conference papers? Why do people submit them to attend conferences?

Currently searching for conferences related to workplace training and learning and saw that on some websites they ask potential participants to submit papers to attend. Do people submit these papers to get published at the conferences? Can I attend such conferences just to listen?

These are for the academic side of conferences. If you submit research, you have the opportunity to speak on said research if you want to speak.

You can absolutely attend conferences without submitting papers or speaking. They need folks to listen!

In terms of L&D conferences, check out ATD (TD.org), they are one of the largest places where training pros get together for an annual conference.
