The Babel Conferences were a series of peaceful congregations between the many races that make up the United Federation of Planets. The site of these interstellar conferences was the neutral planet of Babel. The gathering which saw the creation of the United Federation of Planets was called the First Babel Conference. (TOS reference: Spaceflight Chronology) This name is somewhat misleading, however, given the prior conferences held at Babel. (ENT episode: "Babel One") See also: Babel
