information session

Introductory group presentation

An information session is a scheduled meeting where an organization presents details about its programs, opportunities, or services to interested parties.

Universities hold information sessions for prospective students; companies hold them for job candidates or potential clients.

The format typically involves a presentation followed by questions: I attended an information session about the graduate program.
