A convention, in the sense of a meeting, is a gathering of individuals who meet at an arranged place and time in order to discuss or engage in some common interest.
 The most common conventions are based upon industry, profession, and fandom.
 Trade conventions typically focus on a particular industry or industry segment, and feature keynote speakers, vendor displays, and other information and activities of interest to the event organizers and attendees.
 Professional conventions focus on issues of concern to the profession and advancements in the profession.
 Such conventions are generally organized by societies or communities dedicated to promotion of the topic of interest.
 Fan conventions usually feature displays, shows, and sales based on pop culture and guest celebrities.
 Science fiction conventions traditionally partake of the nature of both professional conventions and fan conventions, with the balance varying from one to another.
 Conventions also exist for various hobbies, such as gaming or model railroads.
World Movement for Democracy is an international network of individuals and organizations who share the common goal of promoting democracy.
 The World Movement was launched in February 1999 when the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and two nongovernmental organizations in India brought together a cross-section of democracy activists, practitioners, and scholars from over 80 countries in New Delhi for discussions of ways to advance democracy.
 The participants adopted a Founding Statement launching the World Movement "to strengthen democracy where it is weak, to reform and invigorate democracy even where it is longstanding, and to bolster pro-democracy groups in countries that have not yet entered into a process of democratic transition."
 It is intended to unite the global community of democracy advocates and practitioners; to facilitate exchanges of information, knowledge, and experiences; and to build cross-border solidarity.
 The World Movement is led by an international Steering Committee and NED currently serves as its Secretariat.
Latin Trade Business Intelligence, formerly Latin Business Chronicle ("LBC") is a weekly online journal on Latin American business and technology.
In sociology, an occupational closure (or professional demarcation) is the process whereby a trade or occupation transforms itself into a true profession by closing off entry to the profession to all but those suitably qualified.
 The profession then becomes closed to entry from outsiders, amateurs and the unqualified.
 This can be achieved by licensure, through barring entry to all except those who have passed certain entrance examinations and grades of training, or by allowing entry only to those who have gained membership of a specific professional body.
 In most professions all three methods are in regular use.
 What this means in practical terms, is that an architect or physician, for example, will firstly be a university graduate in their main subject, second, will have passed entrance examinations to join a recognised professional body and thirdly, will also be licensed to practise medicine or architecture, usually also obtained through sitting examinations.
 Therefore, such professions are open only to those who satisfy these requirements and are closed to everyone else.
 It is thus illegal for any other person to practice medicine or to pose as an architect.
Latin Trade is a monthly magazine covering global business in Latin America and the Caribbean.
 Similar to Forbes and Fortune Magazine in coverage, the magazine was founded in 1993 and now publishes 40,000 copies every two months in Spanish and English.
 Some 90% of the magazine's circulation is in Latin America.
 The magazine has won 27 editorial and design awards since 2002, including awards from the Association of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE)1.
A stereotype is a generalized idea or image about a particular person or thing that is often oversimplified and offensive.
 Stereotypes are victim of prejudice when negative portrayals of a group are untrue of individual members.
 Nursing has been stereotyped throughout the history of the profession.
 A common misconception is that all nurses are female; this has led to the stereotype of male nurses as effeminate.
 These generalized ideas of the nursing profession have formed a skewed image of nurses in the media.
 The image of a nurse projected by the media is typically of a young white single female being over-sexualized as well as diminished intellectually; this idea is then portrayed in get-well cards, television shows and novels.
 The over-sexualized nurse is commonly referred to as a naughty nurse and is shown as a sex symbol or nymphomaniac. Along with these common stereotypes, studies have identified several other popular images used in media such as handmaiden, angel, torturer, homosexual male, alcoholic, buffoon and woman in white.
 Common stereotypes of nursing and portrayal of these misconceptions have fueled a discussion on the effects they have on the profession, harmful or good.
An apprenticeship is a system of training a new generation of practitioners of a trade or profession with on-the-job training and often some accompanying study (classroom work and reading).
 Apprenticeship also enables practitioners to gain a license to practice in a regulated profession.
 Most of their training is done while working for an employer who helps the apprentices learn their trade or profession, in exchange for their continued labor for an agreed period after they have achieved measurable competencies.
 Apprenticeships typically last 3 to 7 years.
 People who successfully complete an apprenticeship reach the "journeyman" or professional certification level of competence.
The Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (CITMA) was founded in 1934 as the British professional body for trade mark attorneys.
 It received a Royal Charter in 2016 which saw its name change from ITMA.
 CITMA is a professional membership organisation with the power to shape law and practice – nationally and internationally, as well as supporting and promoting the trade mark attorney profession.
 It has legal responsibility for regulating the profession, which is delegated to the Intellectual Property Regulation Board (IPReg).
Democracy is a quarterly journal of progressive and liberal politics, as well as culture, founded by Kenneth Baer and Andrei Cherny in 2006.
 "Democracy" is intended to be the progressive/liberal answer to such prominent and influential conservative journals as "The Public Interest", "Policy Review", "Commentary", and "The National Interest".
 Baer and Cherny state in a message to readers in the first issue that they intend to "regenerate the strength of the progressive movement" with "big ideas."
 Contrasting themselves with "National Review's" William F. Buckley, Baer and Cherny proclaim their journal will "stand athwart history and yell, Forward!"
 The editors put forward "Democracy" as "a place where ideas can be developed and important debates can be spurred" at a "time when American politics has grown profoundly unserious."
Professionalization is a social process by which any trade or occupation transforms itself into a true "profession of the highest integrity and competence."
 The definition of what constitutes a profession is often contested.
 Professionalization tends to result in establishing acceptable qualifications, one or more professional associations to recommend best practice and to oversee the conduct of members of the profession, and some degree of demarcation of the qualified from unqualified amateurs (that is, professional certification).
 It is also likely to create "occupational closure", closing the profession to entry from outsiders, amateurs and the unqualified.
