English term or phrase: Birds of a Feather (BOF) Group
Birds of a Feather (BOF) involves groups of people with a common interest or area of expertise informally working together. It’s often done over lunch or during the morning coffee break. The event organizer can suggest BOF groups for delegates to join but participants can also create their own. The names go on lists and when it’s time for a session the lists are handed to one of the group members to gather their people together. The sessions take place without a pre-planned agenda and are designed to encourage discussion and networking.
