In Brazil, unofficial events are common in social and professional contexts, often referred to as 'rolês' or informal gatherings. In corporate and academic settings, they may be called 'encontros extraoficiais.' In the USA, particularly in NYC, these are often organized through social networks and may operate 'on the down low' to avoid regulatory scrutiny or simply as grassroots, community-driven activities.
