Just my 0.02.
I sometimes enjoy W side meetings where we just talk informally, outside of
any pre announced presentation.

Of course, it is usually after some presentation, either one that lasted
less time than the entire meeting, or one that somehow fell through or got
canceled.

I do not have any monopoly on knowing when/whether it is appropriate to
cancel a meeting.  Far from it.

But I would think that, if there were ever going to be a meeting, where
people might show up even though they were not sure what topic[s] would be
discussed, then having refreshments [e.g. pizza] pre-announced would
probably help.

Just a thought.  An idea.
YMMV. :-)
