In more than 5 words:

Delegates and callbacks: A delegate object contains information required to call a specific method of a specific object. Think of it as a smart method pointer. The delegate can be passed to another location, and accessed to make a type-safe call to the represented method. A callback method is an example of a delegate. The event keyword is used in the declaration of methods that are to be the delegates called when an event occurs.
