A conformation is when a child, usually around the ages 7-9, are recognised as Christians and a member of their parish. The child chooses a sponsor (this can be a relation or a friend of the family) who will go up with the child to the priest. they are given their baptismal candle and light it again, before the priest recites their baptismal promises, to which they will reply "I do". This is the Basis of a conformation. the child also chooses a conformation name, such as Mary, Simon etc. usually a saints name (For example, my conformation name is Bernadette) I hope this helped at all :)
