Plenary session is a term often used in conferences to define the part of the conference when all members of all parties are to attend.

These sessions may contain a broad range of content from keynotes to panel discussions and are not necessarily related to a specific style of delivery.

The term has been used in the teaching profession to describe when information is summarized. This often encourages class participation.

This is one of two recommended DHS HSEEP methods for grouping participants during a Tabletop Exercise (TTX) where players are grouped in a large room according to role, function, or responsibility. This method has no periods set aside for small groups and is especially effective when exercising agencies unfamiliar with intraagency coordination, or if participants are new to TTX. This method requires active facilitation to maintain direction for the large group.[1]

The Congress of Vienna is an example of a "congress" that did not meet in plenary sessions.
