By the mid '80s, when I began to attend meetings in Europe, it was no longer required.

Preparation for meetings then was quite primitive by mail, telex to Europe, fax to Japan and the occasional phone call. By the mid '90s things had substantially improved, since most counterparts at industrial and academic R&D organizations had access to internet mail. Mail attachments were now being exchanged.

Now, with the development of collaboration tools, not just the video conferencing, I believe that most of the working level meetings could be done over the internet. So there would need to be fewer attendees at the face-to-face meetings for bargaining in the hallways and cafes.
