Finding the subject in the following sentence.
Please look at this following sentence.
"At the marketing seminar, the presentations of the various new products were similar, conforming to a standard format."
I think its origin sentence is like this.
"At the marketing seminar (where they were) conforming the presentations of the various new products were similar to a standard format."
So, I think the subject of the verb " conforming" is " the marketing seminar", exactly it's "seminar", not "presentations" Am I wrong ? Meanwhile, Someone continues to insist its subject is "the presentations", not "seminar". Who is right ?
Please tell me and why it is right answer. Thank you in advance.

It means that I'm wrong. uh-uh..... I don't know we can use the words of "confirm to" because I have usually used it as a a transitive verb. Thank you so much for your teachings.
