OK, you do Register for a conference
But here, I think they mean it in the sense of events within a larger event, in which case, I would use sign up.
For a LECTURE, which I think is what is meant here, I think sign up is appropriate.

1] World Conference on x, y, and z : you register when you get there
2] the Conference has a bunch of lectures [conferencias] for which you SIGN UP

Don\'t worry. Be Happy.

participation... attend


Explanation:
I've had a think about this one...

"We have received your letters of the 27th confirming our representatives' participation and stressing the importance of stating which conferences they are going to attend."

I think 'participation' implies that they are 'inscritos' without having to use registration or enrolment, which are not quite right here. (Point taken, Jane)

'Sign up' might work as a verb, e.g. ...which conferences they are signed up for.
