Usage Notes
会议 is more formal than 会 (meeting) alone and is used in professional, academic, and official contexts. 召开会议 (to convene a meeting) is the standard phrase for organizing one. Compare with 会面 (a personal meeting with someone) which is less formal and implies a one-on-one encounter.
Memory Hook
会 means "to meet" and 议 means "to discuss," so 会议 is a gathering to meet and discuss, a meeting.
