"The two groups met for informal talks."
  Comments:
Plural on purpose, as in "the two leaders met Tuesdays for informal discussions".  I think I would also have pluralized "informal talks"(as in the longman ref, "The two groups met for informal talks.").  

The most common gloss on reverso, with or without 会, is simply "meeting".
