I'm working with a client to build an AI/automation system. I need to understand their business operations. They've invited me to a staff meeting to understand the business. However it is a mixed gathering, can I go while avoiding mixing directly i.e. just sitting, observing and asking questions?

You said it is mixed but you can avoid the free mixing. If you can then fine in sha'a Allah
