Conference about player (6)
I believe the answer is:
parley
'conference' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about player' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'player' with letters rearranged gives 'PARLEY'.
(Other definitions for parley that I've seen before include "discussion" , "Negotiate" , "Negotiation between enemies" , "Dialogue between enemies" , "Speak with another" .)
