The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that inspires them to speak their truth and ask for help. The second type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to either men or women.

How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Girard, TX

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The one piece of advice I was ever given was to sit down, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and modestly ask for help. At any meeting, the one constant will be message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another addict which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose as your first.
