The subject of international conferences is a controversial issue. In depth analysis of international conferences can be an enriching experience. Given that its influence pervades our society, there are just not enough blues songs written about international conferences. Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as 'I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole' and 'I’d rather eat wasps' from those politically minded individuals living in the past, who are yet to grow accustomed to its discombobulating nature.
