reunión inicial; encuentro inicial; primera reunión; primer encuentro; reunión inaugural; encuentro inaugural; reunión de arranque; encuentro de arranque; reunión de lanzamiento; encuentro de lanzamiento: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las expresiones "reunión [inicial]", o "encuentro inicial", "primer encuentro" o "primera reunión" son algunas de las alternativas adecuadas al anglicismo "kick-off meeting". [...] En español, para indicar esta idea y dependiendo del contexto, se pueden emplear expresiones como "primera reunión" o "primer encuentro", "reunión/encuentro inicial", ["reunión/encuentro] inaugural, ["reunión/encuentro] de arranque" o "[reunión/encuentro] de lanzamiento", que resultan claras y tienen ya bastante uso. 1, record 1, Spanish, - reuni%C3%B3n%20inicial
