Symposium originally referred to a drinking party (the Greek verb sympotein means "to drink together") but has since come to refer to any academic conference, or a style of university class characterized by an openly discursive format, rather than a lecture and question–answer format. The sympotic elegies of Theognis of Megara and two Socratic dialogues, Plato's Symposium and Xenophon's Symposium all describe symposia in the original sense.

Would you like to participate in an important e-Symposium?
Q. It is taking place at: The two question are: 1) Should Federal Judges monitor the Presidents, to insure a President does not violate the Constitution again? 2) Should all the Presidents official communications be recorded by government technicians, so Congress can listen to these recordings so they can scientifically* investigate the actions of the President? Your participation is highly appreciated, and will help determine the true value of these policy proposals. A real symposium on these two questions is scheduled to be held at Brooklyn College in October, 2006. Contact c.fabara@yahoo.com (* and not depend on what an unavoidably fallible human being may remember, or "Not recall.")

A. I can buy both the Federal Judges and the Presidents, to ensure my profits...E-symposiums cannot change this fact.
