The congresses are basically a meeting of professionals from a certain area, and aim to debate and explore a theme through a more objective and scientific context.
They are different from symposia or seminars. So, symposia take place in just one day, and aim to discuss the technical opinion of an expert on a subject. The seminars, on the other hand, have the presence of a speaker who, after presenting his ideas to the public, media debates on the subject. Thus, ideas are presented in a seminar, while opinions are discussed in the symposia.
