Convite para *lan�amento* de um evento
Trata-se do lançamento oficial de uma feira que acontece todos os anos.Agora, mesmo antes da edição de 2005, haverá um *almoço de lançamento* da edição de 2006. Tenho dúvidas em qual o melhor termo utilizar para "lançamento" neste contexto.

Portuguese term (edited):
almo�o de lan�amento
opening luncheon
I think the formal word "luncheon" fits in well here, with the more formal "opening" preferable to the informal "kick-off".
