“Gathering” in Japanese is 集まり (atsumari).

Refers to people or things coming together in one place or forming a group.

その集まりでは、みんなが最近の出来事を話しました。so no atsu ma ri de wa mi n na ga sai kin no de ki goto o hana shi ma shi ta

At the gathering, everyone talked about recent events.

In Japanese conversation, 集まり (atsumari) can describe both a social get-together and a group of collected items, so context determines whether "gathering" or "collection" fits.
