breakout sessions

Divided group discussions

Breakout sessions are smaller group discussions that split off from a larger meeting or conference.

The main gathering pauses while participants divide into focused groups, each tackling specific topics or tasks: After the keynote, we'll have breakout sessions on marketing, operations, and finance.

The groups later reconvene to share findings with everyone.
