People meeting flesh-to-flesh, as opposed to hologram-to-hologram, in order to exchange information or develop policies.

"Couldn’t the attendees Skype and leave their private jets parked?"
They can do lots of things, including taking commercial jets, or rail, if they live on the same continent. Does physical presence add anything to the overall outcome? Is there any benefit gained by after-hours non-brothel conversations? Perhaps an idea generated by the table conversation over a nice meal? Maybe.
