FAQ:
Q: What's the difference between office activities and meetings?
Office activities are usually social, cultural, & community-building events and are defined by a time, a place, and a location. Office activities have an attendees list- people who said they were planning to attend the event ("joined"). Usually, meetings are work-related and defined by a subject, and a time, and are typically not open to everyone.
