Dear Sir:

In many situations, such as paper submission, conference registration form, one would be asked for the affiliation info. Could you please tell me what does it exactly mean?

Thanks & Regards,

Conferences ususally have a specific theme.

Affiliation would be which group or association you are connected with.

Assuming it was a computer conference. You could be affiliated with Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Lenovo, etc

So, based on your case, suppose I am just a student in Department A from University X. The affiliation info. I should provide would be "Department A, University X", right?

Thanks for your help~

That sounds fine to me
