Background meeting, also known as a pre-meeting or informal meeting, is a meeting held before the main meeting to discuss topics and issues that may arise during the main meeting. Synonyms for background meeting include preliminary meeting, preparatory meeting, pre-discussion, working session, brainstorming session, pre-summit, and preliminary discussion. These meetings are crucial in providing a platform for members to air their concerns and views, establish work plans, and allocate project resources. The meetings also help to enhance the efficiency and productivity of the primary meeting. Background meetings offer a valuable opportunity for individuals to collaborate and plan more effectively, leading to a more successful outcome.
