They've been reviewing recent mods and have called a meeting. I was
provided a date range for said meeting where I was told all 3 reps from
client would be available. I've selected a convenient date and time and
have responded to their r

Although this should be a standard clause in an IT contract, unfortunately
it is not in this one, and we're probably too far down the track to start!
Is pretty annoying as they refuse to use electronic meeting facilities too.
Has anyone successfully implemented charging for meetings partway into
Unless you know exactly what you are delivering and exactly how long it
will take to deliver, fixed price is dumb.
How many people exactly nail their estimates? If you can do that then fixed
price is low risk. But software is normally a journey or discovering the

I've been dicked around plenty and it still happens, over and over. Depends
on your contract as others have said but also on how many times they've
screwed you around. One cancelled meeting which is what I gather from your

I've not done freelance for a long time, but have been doing consultancy.
In my experience unless you have a stakeholder prepared to chase the
parties on their side this is an all too common occurrence. I now try and
schedule meetings with fewer people for less time, but perhaps more often

There could be any number of reasons for one or more parties not attending
a meeting. If ample notice is given, there should be no reason that the
meeting could not be rescheduled.

I'm hoping they amp it up a notch with the new branding, and make it

obsolete pretty quickly.

Seems like the norm.
The Apple event WWDC costs 1599 USD and includes access to five days of
sessions, hands-on labs, and special events. I dare say most people who go,
have a company sending them so it comes out of a training budget.

I'm glad someone else feels that way. Back in the late 80s I worked for a

One hooker for the week That's a bit much to ask - the event only goes
