  Comments:
Elaborate definition.
Trying to clarify difference between 講演 and 講演会 (discussed with friend, who was trying to translate 講演会).
Difference is 会, with point being that it’s more an *event*, rather than, say, day-to-day lectures for class (daily lectures are not 講演). It often means “several speakers” (frequent posters for such), but can also just be a single speaker.

There are looser translations into English (in the US people often say “workshop” for multiple lectures, to suggest more interactivity), but I’m not sure they would add anything.
