The form of name is not valid in RDA
54

If no AACR2 name authority record exists for the collective conference name
i.e. without number, date or place
Create an individual conference name authority record for the item in hand
Do not create a collective conference name authority record
55
BL Guidelines on Sequential Conferences
If an AACR2 record exists for individual conference name in form acronym/year (CAV 2013, etc.), for the item in hand
This form of name is not valid in RDA
Correct and upgrade the individual name authority record
Do not create a collective name authority record
56
BL Guidelines on Sequential Conferences

Your BL catalogue record covers the complete sequence
or
The existing collective record is not valid in RDA
or
Earlier and later name references are needed when a conference has changed its name

Recording at the Element Level
Authorized Access Points are required by MARC 21 Authorized Access Points are required by current systems However, RDA is designed to work at the element level Linked data (BIBFRAME, etc.)
So
Future systems may not require Authorized Access Points Discretely recorded elements can be retrieved, matched, linked and combined into displays Element-level recording is the real substance of the RDA NAR Elements are recorded for the present in discrete MARC 21 fields
Not all RDA elements can be added to the authorized access point
