## Message Conferences
**Message Conferences** and **Areas** allow for grouping of message base topics.
## General Information
In ENiGMA½, a message base is divided into two logical grouping components: **Message Conferences** and **Areas**. Message conferences are top level containers while areas are for a specific topic. Messages are always stored internally with a area tag.
## Conferences
Message Conferences are the top level container for *1:n* Message *Areas* via the `messageConferences` block in `config.hjson`. A common setup may include a local conference and one or more conferences each dedicated to a particular message network such as fsxNet, ArakNet, etc.
Each conference is represented by a entry under `messageConferences`. Each entries top level key is it's *conference tag*.
:information_source: It is **highly** recommended to use snake_case style message *conference tags* and *area tags*!
