A relative that passed away last year was held in pretty high regard in his professional field and so there's a symposium being held in his honour.

Does anyone know what the form/etiquette is for such an event? Is it likely to be a somber affair or a celebration of a life's work?

TIA

I realise this is posted in General but hey ho.

I thought a symposium these days was a meeting of specialists discussing some arcane topic.

If so, I'd mug up like mad on your relative's speciality, and try and come up with some novel development, because they may expect you to give a presentation.

Seriously, another meaning is simply a convivial party or in this case a kind of secular memorial meeting, which I guess shouldn't be too demanding.

OOI, what was your relative's speciality if that isn't slightly compromising your anonymity?
