context_page_description: A meeting is when two or more people come together to discuss one or more topics, often in a formal or business setting, but meetings also occur in a variety of other environments. Many various types of meetings exist.
context_section_description: The term "meeting" may refer to a lecture (one presentation), seminar (typically several presentations, small audience, one day), conference (mid-size, one or more days), congress (large, several days), exhibition or trade show (with manned stands being visited by passers-by), workshop (smaller, with active participants), training course, team-building session and kick-off event.
  Common types of meeting include:
  Committee meeting, a coming-together of a defined subset of an organization
  Investigative meeting, generally when conducting a pre-interview, exit interview or a meeting among the investigator and representative
  Kickoff meeting, the first meeting with a project team and the client of the project to discuss the role of each team-member
  Town hall meeting, an informal public gathering.
  Work meeting, which produces a product or intangible result such as a decision; compare working group.
  Board meeting, a meeting of the board of directors of an organization
  Management meeting, a meeting among managers
  Staff meeting, typically a meeting between a manager and those that report to that manager
  Team meeting, in project contexts - a meeting among colleagues working on various aspects of a team project.
  Other varieties include breakfast meetings off-site meetings (or Awayday meetings in the UK), and "stand-up meetings" where participants stand up to encourage brevity.
  Since a meeting can be held once or often, the meeting organizer has to determine the repetition and frequency of occurrence of the meeting: one-time, recurring meeting, or a series meeting such as a monthly "lunch and learn" event at a company, church, club or organization in which the placeholder is the same, but the agenda and topics to be covered vary. In Russian, a "flying meeting" (Russian: летучий митинг, romanized: letuchij miting) is a hastily-called brief meeting.
