I’m moving around with my spouse, leaving Europe for a conference (9)

I believe the answer is:

symposium

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conference' is the definition.
(symposium is a kind of conference)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for symposium that I've seen before include "Conference on academic topic" , "Specialist conference" , "mass meeting" , "Conference for the public discussion of a topic" , "Meeting or conference for discussion of a topic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
