Looooong meetings, I try to avoid them and only attend the ones where scheduling is on the agenda. At least we have an agenda and we follow it. I have been involved at theaters where people did not know what was to be accomplished at each meeting. The result was that consultations that should have occurred before the meeting happened at the meeting and decisions were postponed for too long.
If I am going to be immobile for an hour or so while the discussion waxes and wanes, I will take some handsewing with me.

Contact Dennis Dorn at the University of Wisconsin, Madison for his Blueprint of a Production. Madison produces many shows each year and this document is a week by week breakdown of what needs to be done AND what needs to be accomplished at each meeting.
Click here for my Costume Studio Timelines. Mine only involves the Costume Studio, but perhaps the two documents would persuade the other technical areas to produce similar ones.
