Hello,
I think this is the idea. Everything has been done that needed to be done.
I hope this helps.

| It would have been the idea if they did not have an another day full of sessions following that one...So I'm thinking more a term relating to "Closing comments" |

Of course whether it is the end of the conference, the end of the day, or the end of each of a variable number of portions of a day will depend on how "session" is defined.

It will also depend what exactly is meant by the French. Is the the closing speech by the organizer, for instance, or just "the bell" telling everyone school is over for the day and they can go and party, and return bright and early the following morning, of course. Though I know several people at a conference in Berlin right now who are going to bunk off to Potsdam for a day.

Work? People don't go to conferences to work! They go for massages and fine food, like those American insurance people, preferably at someone else's great expense!
