A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How to take conference event photos? (alien.top)

I got my first ever photography assignement and I am super nervous.

The task is going to be taking pictures on roughly 2 hour conference of an startup for social media.

I only have general idea of how can I tackle something like that and I still have over a week to prepare.

What should I watch out for and focus on? Should I use flash? I only purchased it recently, so I only know basics of using it in TTL mode.

Gear that I have- 1x speedlight flash, 1x aps camera, 1x tripod with softbox

Since you have a week, any chance you could check out the venue to see what lighting looks like? To avoid distractions, I second not using flash if you can help it, at least while people are speaking.
