In the Symposium, the dialectic exists among the speeches: in seeing how the ideas conflict from speech-to-speech, and in the effort to resolve the contradictions and see the philosophy that underlies them all.

An academic conference or scientific conference (also congress, symposium, workshop, or meeting) is an event for researchers (not necessarily academics) to present and discuss their scholarly work.

In Ancient Greece, the symposium (Ancient Greek: συμπόσιον, sympósion or symposio, from συμπίνειν, sympínein, 'to drink together') was the part of a banquet that took place after the meal, when drinking for pleasure was accompanied by music, dancing, recitals, or conversation. [1]
The 1AC is not backflowed because most affirmative debaters are presumably already familiar with the arguments or they have flowed the arguments before or during the speech. The negative block is not flow filled because the 1NR is prepping during the 2NC and the 1NR has no further speeches. The rest of the rebuttals are not backflowed for the ...

[1] In it, Socrates and a few of his companions attend a symposium (a dinner party at which Greek aristocrats could enjoy entertainment and discussion) hosted by Kallias for the young man Autolykos.
Aristophanes' speech is great oratory, and a very fine metaphor for love, but Plato would surely hold a philosophical account in higher esteem. This, coupled with the fact that Socrates' speech is the finale, makes it more likely, I think, that Socrates is given the climactic speech.--Dast 18:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
