Birds of a feather meetings are informal gatherings of individuals with the same interests. They are usually unstructured and ad-hoc.
Summary by The World of Work Project
Birds of a Feather Meetings
Birds of a feather meetings can be similar to communities of interest in that they may be organic in their development. Some conferences have slots set aside for them on specific subjects / interest areas. Our understanding is that they may have originated from the world of computing.
There’s really nothing more to say about these meetings.

You might also be interested in facilitation and team building, or world cafes, lightning talks, fishbowl meetings or communities of interest.

We have basically nothing to say about these meetings. They just sound like a bit of a get together for a chat to us, so not sure we even need a name for them, but perhaps it’s helpful…
We probably owe you an apology for taking up your time even creating this post!
