"will+infinitive" and "will+be+ing"

[Dany]

Hello,

Can someone explain me, when I have to use "will+infinitive" and when "will+be+ing" :?:

Example:
The conference will start in four months, it's time you re-booked the premises.

The conference will be starting in four months, it's time you re-booked the premises.

Which of these sentences is correct? What's the different between the both sentences? :?

Thank you.

I'd use the second- it suggests taht this is an inevitable part of the future, regardless of what we do. ;-)

Thanks for your quick answer, but I don't understand why I have to use the second one.
What's the different between this both sentences? Or is the first one complete wrong?

Kind regards
Dan

The first isn't wrong, but we use the progressive form quite a lot to talk about things that are slotted into our future timetable. It helps to add a sense that time is running out and arrangeents need to be made. ;-)
