forgotten meeting
Slipped-mind engagement
A forgotten meeting is an appointment or scheduled gathering that slipped from memory—missed because no one remembered it was happening.
The phrase captures the particular guilt or embarrassment of simply not showing up: I found three forgotten meetings on my calendar from last month.
It can also describe meetings that were scheduled but never officially canceled, lingering as calendar ghosts.
