An event is defined in the Croatian dictionary as an organized event intended for the public. An event is everything that happens, that is, events that suggest that what happened was very important, memorable or took place on an unusual scale. Today, the organization of events is a very large field in the industry that has become very popular and spread everywhere in the world. Events have become a normal part of people's lives, and every moment in a person's life can be turned into some form of event. An online event, also known as a virtual event, is a type of event where human interaction takes place in electronic form, that is, via the Internet, and not in physical form. These are actually events that were originally held in a physical form, and due to various circumstances, they were moved online over time, and many events were intended to be held online only from the very beginning. A photo exhibition is one of the types of non-corporate events that serves the purpose of exhibiting photos to a wider audience and conveying a message using photography as a medium. The research comparing the online and live versions of the exhibition aimed to prove the success of live events and show how communication and sociability and physical contact of live events are more important to people than the practicality offered by online events.
