Questions & Answers about После совещания мне не до разговоров: я устал и хочу отдохнуть.

Why is совещания in the genitive case after после?

Because после always takes the genitive in Russian.

So:

• совещание = meeting / briefing / conference
• после совещания = after the meeting

This is a very common pattern:

• после урока = after the lesson
• после работы = after work
• после обеда = after lunch

What exactly does совещание mean? Is it the same as встреча?

Not exactly.

Совещание usually means a work-related meeting, especially one where people discuss issues, plans, or decisions. It often sounds more formal or businesslike.

Встреча is broader and can mean:

• a meeting in general
• an appointment
• even meeting someone socially

So in this sentence, совещание suggests something like a staff meeting, briefing, or work discussion.

Why is it мне, not я?
