How it's used

Refers specifically to the committee or group in charge of an event rather than the event itself. While it can mean a large conference in formal contexts, in daily speech it is almost exclusively used to refer to the people running the show. It is common to hear people complain about the decisions made by the organisers using this term.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean a large meeting or conference in casual conversation, as it will sound overly formal or like a news report. Use 會議 or 聚會 instead if you are talking about the event itself.
