Add a meeting that automatically notifies all the attendees and related contacts about the time, venue, and purpose of the meeting before it commences. You can also add people outside of the product to attend the meeting by entering their email addresses. They are not only invited to the meeting but are added as contacts as well. 
You can also set the meeting in the time zone of the related contact for their convenience. The meeting will be displayed in the equivalent time of your time zone, saving you the trouble of having to calculate the difference in time.
