I still don't understand.

In Org, you will have a default time zone that will be used to build the
agenda.

In meeting 1, you set the time zone to your local zone
In meeting 2, you set the time zone to the time zone where the meeting
is scheduled.

The, both the meetings will be first converted to the default time zone
and appear in your agenda adjusted as required.
