elite gatherings
High society events
Elite gatherings are exclusive social events attended by people of high status, wealth, or influence.
The phrase often carries skeptical or conspiratorial undertones, suggesting that powerful people meet privately to make decisions affecting everyone else: What really happens at these elite gatherings?
The term appears frequently in populist rhetoric critical of perceived ruling classes.
