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

726 views

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?

You are usually asked to submit a conference paper if you want to *present*, not just if you want to attend and listen.

When registering to attend the conference, there will usually be some sort of box or separate form for “I would like to present at this conference”. If you select that part, that’s where it will usually prompt you to submit a paper for consideration.

Just leave that part out, and you should be able to register for attendance without needing to submit any paper.
