Convenerconvoker

Convenerconvoker is a coined term referring to an agent that both convenes and convokes participants for a gathering. The word blends convener, one who calls a meeting, with convoker, one who summons attendance. In practice, a convenerconvoker may describe a person, a role, or an automated system that performs both functions in a unified process.

Definition and scope: A convenerconvoker identifies stakeholders, selects an appropriate time and place, drafts and distributes the agenda, and issues formal notices or invitations that require attendance. In many models, the role also handles logistics, records decisions, and ensures compliance with procedural rules. When implemented as software, a convenerconvoker platform can automate invitations, reminders, RSVP collection, and agenda distribution, integrating with calendar tools and document repositories.

Contexts and usage: The term is not common in formal governance literature but appears in theoretical discussions of collaborative decision-making, event management, and fictional worlds. In organizational theory, it illustrates the dual authority of initiating a process and summoning participants under established procedures. In fantasy or speculative fiction, a convenerconvoker might be a character who can summon a council or assemble a body of advisers.

Variants and notes: Some writers use the term to describe a hybrid role (convener-convoker) or a system designed to enforce attendance. It remains largely a neologism rather than a standardized role. See also convener; convoke; summons; meeting management.
