How it's used
Meetings in a professional setting are almost always referred to using the verb phrase 開會 rather than using the noun 會議 directly. Using 會議 often sounds formal or bureaucratic, similar to how one might use 'conference' in English. If you are just talking about a casual catch-up or a quick discussion, stick to 開會.

Common mistake
Learners often try to use 會議 as a verb, but it is strictly a noun. You cannot say 我會議咗， you must say 我開咗會.
