A seminar is a type of academic instruction, typically occurring at a university or offered by a commercial or professional organization. It has the function of bringing together small or large groups for meetings, focusing on some particular subject. Seminars are often run by a speaker, and can be participatory, where all subjects are afforded the opportunity to participate, or oratory, where the attendees listen to a speaker without interruptions. Some seminars are small, held in one room with one speaker or leader, while others can be quite large, involving many speakers and presenters, multiple topics, and hundreds of attendees.
