special meetings
Called gatherings, unscheduled
Special meetings are gatherings called outside the regular schedule to address urgent or specific matters.
In corporate contexts, a special meeting of shareholders or directors handles business that can't wait for the next annual meeting: The board called a special meeting to approve the merger.
Legislative bodies, religious organizations, and clubs use the term similarly for unscheduled sessions convened for a particular purpose.
