RVSU - Convention Center

 A meeting is a assembly of two or more citizenries that has been convoked for the purpose of achieving a common goal through verbal interaction, such as sharing data or reaching agreement. Meetings may come face to face or pretty much, as interceded by communications technology, such as a telephone conference call, a skyped conference call or a videoconference. In a meeting, two or more people interact to talk about one or more issues, often in a formal scope.

Thus, a meeting may be discerned from other gatherings, such as an attempt encounter (not convened), a sports game or a concert (verbal interaction is incidental), a party or the companionship of friends (no common goal is to be achieved) and a presentation (whose common goal is reached mainly through the number of sales demonstrators present, not verbal interaction).
