Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they actually have distinct meanings.

Conference: A conference is a gathering of people who come together to discuss a particular topic or set of topics. Conferences can be large or small and can be held over the course of several days or just a few hours. They often include keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

Summit: A summit is a meeting or conference of high-level leaders, often from different countries or organizations, to discuss important issues and make decisions.

Symposium: A symposium is a smaller, more focused version of a conference

Workshop: A workshop is a hands-on educational session where participants learn new skills or methods. Workshops are typically smaller groups where participants get one-on-one help from professionals and tend to be more expensive.
