A seminar is frequently held at a hotel meeting space or within an office conference room. Increasingly, the term "seminar" is used to describe a commercial event (though sometimes free to attend) where delegates are given information and instruction in a subject such as property investing, other types of investing, Internet marketing, self-improvement or a wide range of topics, by experts in that field. There is a speaker who give lecturer with highlights, scope, importance, benefits & limitation on the respective topic as the lecturer finish, audience ask questions. Seminars are educational events that feature one or more subject matter experts delivering information primarily via lecture and discussion. A seminar is often one person giving perhaps an hour-long lecture, although there could be more than one speaker as well.
Symposium is meeting of a number of experts in a particular field at which papers are presented by specialists on particular subjects and discussed with a view to making recommendations concerning the problems under discussion. Symposium: refer to any academic conference, or a style of university class characterized by an openly discursive format, rather than a lecture and question–answer format. The term symposium has come to refer to any event where multiple speeches are made. A symposium suggests that more than one person is speaking. A Symposium is typically a more formal or academic gathering, featuring multiple experts delivering short presentations on a particular topic.
