annual conference
A conference or meeting of an organization, association, or company that takes place every year.
Auf der Jahrestagung des Verbandes wurde ein neuer Vorstand gewählt.
At the association's annual conference, a new board was elected.
The word is made up of 'Jahr' (year), in the form 'Jahres-', and 'Tagung' (conference). A 'Tagung' is a formal meeting and comes from the verb 'tagen' (to meet/convene). So a 'Jahrestagung' (annual conference) is a meeting that takes place once a year.
Die nächste Jahrestagung findet in Berlin statt.
The next annual conference will take place in Berlin.
Common verbs in connection with this word are: to 'abhalten' or 'veranstalten' a 'Jahrestagung' (to hold or organize an annual conference), from the organizer's perspective, and to 'teilnehmen' an einer 'Jahrestagung' (to participate in an annual conference), from the guest's perspective.
Viele Mitglieder werden an der Jahrestagung teilnehmen.
Many members will participate in the annual conference.
This word is typically used for formal meetings of organizations, companies, scientific societies, or associations. It is not suitable for a private yearly get-together of friends or family.
Auf der Jahrestagung der Ärzte wurden neue Forschungsergebnisse vorgestellt.
At the doctors' annual conference, new research findings were presented.
annual general meeting
Both words refer to a yearly gathering. The Jahreshauptversammlung (annual general meeting) is the most important meeting of the members or shareholders, with reports and decisions at its center. A Jahrestagung (annual conference) can be a more general yearly conference featuring talks and discussion.
