It is the first time such an event is taking place since anti-government protests broke out in March.Many of those attending have spent time in prison in the past for their political activities.
The participants do not represent political parties, and they do not claim to represent activists who have taken part in the recent protests. The Syrian authorities are said to have been informed of the meeting and have not blocked it, but there will be no government representation at the event. The participants says they are not making concessions to the government and they want an end to the violence and killings.
The government is making a show of looking for the middle ground to solve the crisis but they are also seen to be playing for time, says the BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus. Aref Dalila, a prominent Alawite opponent of the Assad government who spent nearly eight years in prison for criticising state corruption, says there is no chance the government will make use of the meeting as it is known that its participants reject government policies, our correspondent says.
But there has already been unease expressed by some opposition activists, who fear that holding such a meeting while the violence and repression continue could confer legitimacy on the regime, says the BBC's Jim Muir in neighbouring Lebanon. Others have insisted that those taking part must stick to their basic demand, that the regime has to go, and make way for democracy.
The meeting comes three months after pro-democracy protests started, as the authorities in Syria continue with their security crackdown.
