Italian term or phrase: Assemblea Congressuale
Seems like a board meeting, for an NGO.

"L’Assemblea Congressuale si è aperta alle 12.00 di sabato 27 Giugno 2009 presso il circolo (name of NGO) in via (street) 1 - Genova,
...Non essendoci altro da discutere il Presidente chiude i lavori dell’Assemblea Congressuale alle ore 15.00."

(from the minutes of this "Assemblea Congressuale").

Thanks,

The meeting's minutes also make reference to a "Documento Congressuale", which seems to be the Agenda (or something else, as the minutes also make reference to the agenda).

Association/Organisation Meeting
Explanation:
I would add association or organisaton to make the point that it is not a company meeting. Though you could just as easily leave it out as "congressuale" is essentially redundant in the context provided.

plenary session of the congress / congress


Explanation:
A big congress is usually an event covering a few days full of meetings. The "assemblea" will be a plenary session with everybody invited. Of course if the congress is small affair with everybody attending just one meeting then you can probably safely translate Assemblea Congressuale with just Congress.
