infokohtumine

Infokohtumine is a term used to describe a meeting whose primary purpose is to convey information about a topic, project, policy, or service to a defined audience. The format is typically informational rather than decision-making, and participants may include stakeholders, employees, customers, residents, or partners.

The main goals of an infokohtumine are to provide clear background, illustrate current status, outline expected impacts or timelines, and answer questions. It can also serve to gather feedback or clarify uncertainties. Sessions are often part of broader communication or change-management efforts and are used by public authorities, companies, NGOs, and educational institutions.

Common formats include presentations or panel discussions, followed by a question-and-answer segment. Materials such as slides, handouts, and demonstrations may accompany the session. Infokohtumised can be held in person, online, or in a hybrid setup, and they may vary in length from brief 30-minute updates to longer exploratory briefings. Planning typically involves defining objectives, identifying the audience, crafting key messages, arranging speakers, and organizing logistics and accessibility measures.

Outcomes usually focus on increased transparency, stakeholder understanding, and the potential for follow-up actions or additional information requests. Related concepts include briefings, information sessions, town hall meetings, and public information campaigns.
