Note from asker:
merci...je pensais à convaincante ?
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : I'd say not 'convincing' here; that meaning is commoner with something like 'argument' or 'case', but not something as abstract as a 'session'.

agree kashew : "Conferences with high level speakers or compelling topics can also draw mass media attention. wateraid.org Les conférences animées par des conférenciers de haut niveau ou sur des sujets *passionnants* peuvent aussi attirer l'attention des mass médias."
