welcome event
Something happily received
A welcome event is a gathering organized to greet and introduce newcomers—new employees, incoming students, or members joining an organization.
These events typically combine socializing with orientation: The company hosts a welcome event for each cohort of new hires.
The tone ranges from formal receptions to casual mixers, but the purpose is always easing people into an unfamiliar environment.
