English translation:practical workshops / seminars
Explanation:
I realise that the Russian is 'conference' but I wonder really if this is not a grand way of saying seminars. What is a practical conference?
practical conferences sounds rather strange

Unless it a a conference devoted to practical issues rather than to theoretical ones
