我通过描述我在人工耳蜗的开发和商业化过程中参加的三个会议，来研究会议如何成为新兴组织领域配置的场合。这些会议是开展各种活动的场所，从交流信息到制定技术可能性。我认为，充分理解会议作为整体事件，为我们提供了一个特别有价值的切入点，使我们更深入地了解新领域是如何在真实的时间内组合起来的。
I examine how conferences can be occasions for the configuration of emerging organizational fields by describing three that I attended during the development and commercialization of cochlear implants. These conferences served as venues for a variety of activities to unfold, ranging from the exchange of information to the enactment of technological possibilities. A full appreciation of conferences as holistic events, I argue, offers us a particularly valuable entry point into gaining a deeper understanding of how new fields are assembled in real time.
