For instant creation of conversation spaces via Jitsi, just change the last segment of the URL on-the-fly.
While talking with someone "in the hallway" just now, to illustrate, I added an "a" for IETF107a, let him know, and we went "there". Create ABC123 anytime just as easily: type it into the URL field following https://meet.jit.si/ Done. No accounts or registration needed. Identities are optional. Impromptu side conversations are supported effortlessly.
I'm not a shill for this particular service. I'm just explaining it's no-barriers operability in reply to the "hallway" question.

Good first approximation.
A real hallway has the concept of proximity, though, with some social rules, and all the serendipities of running into the right people.
Some of that should not be too hard to model using WebRTC…
No new protocols needed, just good application development.
