What is an off-the-record meeting?

An off-the-record meeting is a discussion where the participants agree that the information shared cannot be disclosed or attributed to anyone involved. This allows for open and candid conversations without the risk of public scrutiny or backlash. While insights or ideas may be shared, the confidentiality ensures that sensitive topics can be addressed freely. However, it’s important to clarify the boundaries of what is considered off-the-record before the meeting takes place.
