Marcelo González: :-)) Hello Sandra! The term "conferencist" is not normally used. Speaker is fine. Since in university settings the term "conferencista" is often translated as "lecturer" and since this terms can be applied in this context, as well, why look anywhere else?

Second Final: Guest Speaker, Keynote Speaker, Introductory Speaker

at Events Held by International organizations, trade associations etc. etc. these are Public Relations Events either open to all or not, and the people on the invitations billed as Guest Speakers...

Now then...if you lecture to a small group at a Think Tank..then it might be a Lecture/lecturer.. but not in these context.

Marcelo González: This disagree is for several of your notes. People can "act as," and those who speak at conferences are often referred to as "lecturers." Language use varies greatly, especially in terms of lexicon.

1 hr

-> No..but it's says Events Marcelo..that's speaker..as a matter of fact..conference speaker would be wroing here..it's Speaker at the events..I was an event organizer for 5 years of the same kind as the poster mentions..We never had One Lecturer..I

neutral

jrb: I think you're right about speaker but wrong (later) that such events aren't defined as conferences, often they are, IADB & WB and NGOs organise events they call conferences (although debatable IMO compared with academic ones); NB he/she is, not I am

3 hrs

-> Yes they can be but I was trying to make the point re speaker....re the I am..sure Jessica..do you really think that is the main point??

Explanation:
La referencia a actuar me parece un tanto forzada en inglés (y una franca muletilla en español).

Sin ánimo de polemizar, pero he sido intérprete en reuniones del IDB (BID en español) y las anuncian como lectures y a los participantes, al menos algunos, como lecturers. Ver por ejemplo: http://courses.washington.edu/hserv531/agenc01.htm

It should be clear from these references that \"lecturers\" speak at a variety of events (conferences and meetings included). The best option (with which perhaps no one will disagree) might be \"lectured\" as a verb:

\"...he/she has lectured at numerous events (organized by xxx)...\" :-)

12 hrs confidence:

speak

Explanation:
No need for "conference"; the following context makes everything clear. "He/she has spoken at ..." PLUS, he could have led a seminar or been a panelist.
