general conference
Open topic gathering
General conference is a periodic assembly where members of an organization gather to conduct official business, hear addresses from leaders, and set policy.
The term appears across religious denominations—Latter-day Saints hold general conference twice yearly, Methodists convene quadrennially.
In secular contexts, it may describe any large organizational meeting: The union's general conference voted to approve the new contract.
