global conferences

Worldwide diplomatic gatherings

Global conferences are large-scale meetings that bring together participants from multiple countries to address issues of international scope—trade, climate, health, security.

They range from annual summits like the World Economic Forum to one-time diplomatic gatherings.

The global conference on climate change drew delegates from 190 nations.

The term emphasizes both geographic reach and the scale of attendance.
