Information exchange that shouldn’t take long? (8)
I believe the answer is:
briefing
'information' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for briefing that I've seen before include "Update session" , "Session to give information or instructions" , "Instructional meeting" , "Information (meeting)" , "Issuing instructions or giving information" .)
