At vs in vs on with events and occasions

Hello!

Could you help me, please?

How to choose the right preposition for events and occasions?

For example, why do we say:

at the conference

in the meeting

on the exhibition

When and which preposition do we use with events and occasions?

Thank you!

That is not common.

Put another noun after "exhibition."

e.g.
