W3C organizes an annual week of Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee meetings (TPAC) where most Working Groups, some Community Groups, and the Advisory Committee hold in-person/virtual hybrid meetings, as well as a day of numerous breakout sessions on specific topics.

There are #tpac channels on the W3C irc server and Slack instance for general discussions.
