I think not, there are some official meetings, like those hosted by the WEF, casually renamed https://www.worldgovernmentsummit.org to be a bit more modest but there is no special need to meet someone like you to understand your common interests. If you are a blacksmith you know your "cohort" interests without the need to meet some competitor/colleagues. You might occasionally meet them anyway, for lobbying, for a common cause (like the farmers against John Deere for the right to repair their tractors, or to be more precise the tractors they have bought but they do not really own anyway), some meetings might be public, some others behind closed doors, but the common interests of a category are well known by all belonging to that category.

The cohort who seems unable to understand it's own common interests are the 99% of the people who apparently, as usual, fails to see where are their enemy and their potential allies, regularly fighting against their own interests...

I suggest if you have a bit of patience an old book from 1841 by Clinton Roosevelt, The Science Of Government, Founded On Natural Law, it's strange at first bug get clear quickly and it's very fast to read: https://dn790002.ca.archive.org/0/items/sciencegovernme00roo... try and you'll see in a succinct and crystal clear the TODAY world, economy, with anything we have. Another good reading would be Eduard Bernays Propaganda and to complete the game a bit of modern network theory like some Albert-László Barabási.
