For example you can talk, read or write about a topic, and sometimes you see о теме and sometimes про тему. Is there a conceptual difference? |

О and про are same in the most of cases. But there are few differences:
And we have one usual phrase "о том, что...". Here we usually use о. Мы вспомнили о том, что нужно купить молоко и хлеб. |

Besides O being more common/general and ПРО being more colloquial, these prepositions are governed by different cases.
I assume you are trying to compare О and ПРО in the meaning of "about" only, because they have other meanings that don't cross.
There are also a few set phrases where only one preposition can be used but not another:
