For the register you describe, I would say \"exchange experiences\" would be the best, but I think in the States \"trade\" is slightly more common than over here. \"Share\" and \"swap\" are in my opinion a bit less formal.

Comment: ""Share experiences" works well. "Swap" is too casual here, at least in US English. "Share experiences" has the advantage of applying to both the exchange of past knowledge/experiences and the sharing of new ones (e.g. at the Congress). "
