premeeting
Pre-session warm-up
Premeeting describes something occurring before a meeting, or refers to a gathering held in advance of a larger or more formal one.
A premeeting agenda outlines topics to cover.
We had a quick premeeting to align on our proposal.
The word appears in corporate and organizational contexts where preparation for meetings requires its own coordination.
