Is the conference related to your profession? if yes, then it's business because it helps you further your career. If it's a hobby, then it's pleasure. That was easy. Here's a harder one: Immigration Officer:"Business or pleasure?" Incoming alien: "I dunno, I go to a funeral, so I guess it's pleasure? |

Strictly speaking, I'm not sure if B1 and B2 are separate visa. I got a B1/B2 visa. At the POE, you get B1 or B2 stamped on your passport. I have both B1 and B2 stamped during different visits.

Whenever my husband and I go over to the UK to visit my family and he gets asked if he's visiting for pleasure, he always says "No, I'm here to see my in-laws." |

B-1 and B-2 may not be a separate visa, but you are admitted as either one or another depending on the circumstances of the particular trip. gbh |
