convieuire

Convieuire is a term used in speculative fiction and world-building to describe a system, practice, or role that coordinates social gatherings around shared resources, emphasizing inclusivity and convivial exchange. The word fuses the ideas of convening and conviviality, implying both organizational capacity and a social ethos.

A convieuire can denote a person who arranges gatherings (a convieuire facilitator), a process by which participants plan, pool resources, and meet, or an object such as a toolkit or digital platform that supports scheduling, location-sharing, and resource-sharing for events.

In fiction, convieuire is often depicted in communities aiming to strengthen social ties, reduce waste, and democratize access to communal activities. The concept is frequently used in utopian or near-future settings, where technology or social norms enable scalable, inclusive events.

Origin and reception: The term appears in world-building discussions and speculative-fiction glossaries published in the 2010s and 2020s. Within those communities, it remains a coined term with varied implementations across works.
