You need to come to an agreement about when to do the meeting. Be it
your TZ, and other participant's TZ, or some other fixed TZ (including

`org-read-date' should definitely be extended to understand time zones.
As for the display, we have `org-display-custom-times'. Might need to
extend it in future, but maybe the existing functionality is already
good enough.
