All members of a conference are expected to attend plenary sessions
The term comes from the Latin word 'plenus' meaning 'gathered', and has come to be used in academic settings, such as conferences, just before, or after, breaking into smaller groups.[1] This can be a time for summarising information, and may encourage class participation or networking.[2]
A plenary 'sitting' may refer to legislative gatherings, such as those held by the European Parliament.[3] In these sessions, if it is not fully attended by members, it must at least achieve a quorum.[3] Likewise, in the General Assembly of the United Nations, a Plenary Meeting requires minimum number of members to continue its procedures; and the same may apply to other groups depending on their charter or bylaws.[4]
Some organisations have standing committees that conduct the organisation's business between congresses, conferences, or other meetings. Such committees may themselves have quorum requirements and plenary sessions. So, Standing Committees of the Northern Ireland Assembly must have a quorum of five members in order for the committee to proceed.[5]
