Birds of a feather meetings are informal gatherings of individuals with the same interests. They are usually unstructured and ad-hoc.

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.

Want to be a better manager?

 

Every year we run an open cohort of our Connected Management programme for those working in small organisations or organisations that are not able to fund personal and professional development. The 10 session programme is £1100 per person with discounts of up to 40% for self-funders and non-profits.

In 2024, we have a cohort on Wednesday 3.30pm UK time and Thursdays 9am UK time from April 17/18. It comprises 10 online live workshops with two great facilitators and access to a bank of support materials. Learn more about the programme by clicking below.

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

You can learn more about team building activities in our podcast on them:

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!
