French term

une réunion d’information

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) shareholders
How would you describe this kind of meeting. It is for shareholders so that is why I am wondering if there is a technical term as I understand what it means: an information meeting. Shareholder's information/briefing meeting?

Here is context:
Retenez donc qu’il ne passera rien en 2012, qu’une réunion d’information sera organisée en avril 2013...


Many thanks

Evans (X) Nov 18, 2011:
Perhaps an "update meeting" then, designed to bring them up to speed.
Sarah Robertson (asker) Nov 18, 2011:
It is not the general meeting but a meeting to update them about building works.... so not sure either works...

(shareholders') meeting

think "meeting" is more common than "briefing" here and I'd keep "shareholders'"

I would use

INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR SHAREHOLDERS

in that case. A "briefing" is more about business I think than just keeping them updated on building works
