The Wannsee Conference, chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, was a meeting of senior Nazi officials on 20 January 1942 and was organised to work out the 'nuts and bolts' of the 'Final Solution', that is, the Holocaust. The early stages of the Holocaust were chaotic, often starting with local 'initiatives' which were later rubber-stamped at the top.
Contrary to what some older books say, it did not decide on the Final Solution. That decision had already been made (at a higher level) and the Final Solution had started.
You are probably thinking of the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, routine mass gassings of Jews had already started at Chelmno (Kulmhof) camp on 8 December 1941. The Wannsee Conference was fairly short (90 minutes) and was concerned with getting the various agencies involved (local police, the SS and the railways) to co-operate.

The Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 was short (about 90 minutes) and was only concerned with co-ordinating the various agencies involved in carrying out the Holocaust. It was not concerned with policy. The decision to embark on the Holocaust was taken at a much higher level and earlier. The Holocaust was already under way at the time of the Wannsee Conference.
The Wannsee Conference was concerned with organizing the practical arrangements of the 'Final Solution'. The decision to kill the European Jews had already been taken, and at a higher level.
The main result of the Wannsee Conference, held on January 20, 1942, was the coordination of the implementation of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish question, which involved the systematic deportation and extermination of Jews across Europe. High-ranking Nazi officials outlined plans for the mass murder of approximately 11 million Jews through various means, including concentration camps and extermination facilities. This meeting marked a significant escalation in the Nazi regime's genocidal policies, formalizing the bureaucratic approach to the Holocaust.
