The thing about meetings is that it's increasingly rare to have all parties in one physical location. Maybe for very small software shops, but even then, that's going to hurt the business in the long run in terms of recruiting top talent. Any company that expects all of their IT staff to be local is foolish. Even Apple, notorious for not allowing remote work is hedging. It's simply a fact of 21st Century IT employment now. Whether it's WFH or remote offices, you'll have people spread out across different regions, and you'll need to accommodate this in your meetings.

I have a friend who's entire company is remote. Employees in the multiple states, as well as multiple overseas companies. Extremely successful, top tier company in his field. This is the model for most tech companies for the rest of this century.
