virtual conference

Remote group gathering

A virtual conference is a professional gathering conducted online rather than in person, with participants joining through video, audio, and chat platforms.

Attendees watch presentations, join breakout sessions, and network—all from their computers or phones.

The annual summit went virtual during the pandemic.

The format allows broader participation but often lacks the spontaneous connections of in-person events.
