An academic conference is a typical conference set up where there are keynote speakers, and in front of the room facilitator.

A workshop is hands on for participants, with less speaking by a facilitator.

A symposium is similar to a conference, but there's ususally some sort of a casual involved, drinking, food, snacks etc.
