What do you call a kind of meeting that is held after an activity? People get together to talk about what they could have done better and how to do it better next time?


Thanks

In sports, it may be called a "post-game meeting," or just "post-game" for short. That term can be used as a general post-activity meeting as well.

Sometimes you hear "debriefing" used, when the people who attended discuss what occurred with each other and/or with people who did not attend.

You will also hear such a meeting called a "post mortem," borrowed from the coroner's office or the medical examiner's office, and it is straight from Latin, "after death," meaning an autopsy.

There are probably other terms as well.
