I think you mean "conferencia" yes?

Conferencia ...... used for meetings of a business or government nature.

Reunión ...... mostly used for meetings of a personal nature such as a "get together."

As Julian says,

"Conferencia" is for more formal types of meetings and "Reunion" is for an informal meeting.

"¿Reunimos más tarde?" We´ll get together later?

Una reunión is usually a business meeting, involving a small group of people. All you need is two people to have a reunión.

A reunión in certain countries can also mean a small gathering of friends. They say: "No voy a dar una fiesta, sólo será una pequeña reunión entre amigos".

A conference is usually a big event, where there are presentations, demos, a booth or stand, etc.
