1. Subject + 举行 + Event: 公司将举行年会。(Gōngsī jiāng jǔxíng niánhuì.) - The company will hold its annual meeting.
2. **Event + 在 + Place + 举行:** 会议在三楼会议室**举行**。(Huìyì zài sānlóu huìyìshì jǔxíng.) - The meeting is held in the third-floor conference room. (This passive-like structure is very common).
This is the most common point of confusion for learners. They can all mean “to hold” but have different levels of formality and focus.
Be careful not to confuse 举行 with other verbs for “hold.” To physically hold an object in your hands, you would use 拿 (ná) or 抱着 (bàozhe). 举行 is exclusively for abstract events.
