I found this confusing as well when organising our pre-regional FOSS4G QGIS
meet-up.  I have personally delineated them as the following- happy for
corrections.

   - Qgis Conference: Large International event
   - User Meeting: National or regional meet-up
   - Hackathon: meet-up where work is undertaken to improve elements of
   QGIS including: website, documentation, product development,
   feature/function/core development - occurs at any level
   - Contributors Meeting: meeting for QGIS Contributors

For instance, with the FOSS4G 2025 occuring in Auckland NZ next year in
November, I hope a QGIS event will run of some kind prior to it - which may
occur on the sweet Waiheke Island at Onetangi Beach - it would possibly
take the form of a Hackathon that will be organised by the regional QGIS
User group.

On another matter, when the Wiki <https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki>says
you can add in your meet-up, is this only for the big ones, or can we put
regional ones as well?

   - Also is it ok to delineate that the conference is held for the
   'Northern Hemisphere' Spring as well.

Cheers
Em
