Stop going. I’ve used this strategy a lot, and no one seems to care. You’re likely overestimating the amount people are thinking about your presence.

For the first time or two, have a response ready, like “oh I just had to make progress on blah, did I miss anything important?” After awhile, if anyone asks, you can say that you don’t feel like you add enough value to justify the time spent. Your boss can always correct you and ask that you come again, but that at least gets him to evaluate if it’s important.
