ABSTRACT
The ‘Conferentia Club’ was a cultural institution in the city of Barcelona that promoted international exchange in the interwar period organizing conferences about a broad range of topics and fields of study. The speakers were the most prominent exponents of the intellectual modernity. This chapter aims to provide an overview of these conferences based on information found in the press of the time with a special focus on some aspects. First, the relationships between conferences’ format and its public; second, how the social composition of audience members played a significant role in the high percentage of international speakers; third, how the collaboration with other mediating cultural entities increased the impact of their activities.
