Correct spelling, explanation: the word conference comes from French confrence (15c.), from Medieval Latin conferentia, and from Latin conferens, present participle of conferre. It consists of two elements: confer- (the root) and -ence (suffix). The spelling may seem confusing because many words in English end with -ance. You must remember conference is not one of those words. Conferance doesn’t exist.
Definition of conference:

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word conference may be problematic to many English users because it ends with the -ence suffix, which is very similar to -ance. Both of these suffixes exist and work in the English language and sometimes it’s unclear which one we should use. In this case, we must choose the -ence, because etymology indicates that. Conferance is just a mistake and it needs to be avoided.

I was just seeking this information for a while. After five hours of continuous googling, at last I got it on your dictionary. I wonder what is the lack of Google policy which don’t show this kind of quality web sites on top of the results. Normally the highest ranked web sites are mostly useless pages.
