Symposium: originally referred to a drinking party (the Greek verb sympotein means "to drink together") but has since come to refer to any academic conference, whether or not drinking takes place. It was a forum for men to debate, plot, boast, or simply to party with others.
The Philosophy & Theology Symposium will include these elements:
1. A meeting or conference for the discussion of some subject.
2. A collection of opinions expressed or articles contributed by several persons on a given subject or topic.
3. A convivial meeting, usually following a dinner, for drinking and intellectual conversation.
4. Oh and really good beer.

Not a fan of beer myself... but wish I could join in! It would be long commute.
Convivial, huh? I guess so. Sounds like a hoot.
Leave it to the Greeks to come up with a pretty name for a drinking party. I bet that Plato was a kick when he had a few rounds.
