French term

assises

French to English Other Government / Politics European co-operation

I've got "Roundtable" for the moment.

I don't think that an "official" term in English exists.

symposium

you could go with the standard dictionary definition of "conference" or with symposium, IMO the latter corresponds more to the idea of "assises"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I did indeed go for roundtable in the end, but after checking the definition of symposium, you are definitely right, due to the size and the set-up of the "gathering". Thanks to all. "

Panel

... is another buzz word, very "in" now.
