Word origin

The compound 发布会 (fābùhuì, "press conference") joins 发布 (fābù, "to announce or release") and 会 (huì, "meeting"), so its form links public release with the event where it happens.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Chinese, 发布会 (fābùhuì, "public release event") commonly follows 举行 (jǔxíng, "to hold") or 召开 (zhàokāi, "to convene"), which frames it as a scheduled event.
