virtual summit

Remote leaders' conference

A virtual summit is a conference or high-level meeting conducted online rather than in person, with participants joining via video link from different locations.

The term applies both to diplomatic gatherings between heads of state and to professional or industry events: The G7 leaders held a virtual summit to discuss the crisis.

Such events became standard during the COVID-19 pandemic and remain common for convenience or when travel is impractical.
