By the usage, 'Attendee' is a ZClass, correct?  You will still need
to get its product/factory dispatchers into the context before adding
it, e.g.:

   <dtml-with expr="manage_addProduct['MeetingProduct']">
    <dtml-call Attendee_add>
   </dtml-with>

Have a look at the URLs in the "Add" list of the ZMI:  note that
most (all?) of them have the structure,
"manage_addProduct/ProductName/factoryName".  This incantation is
required to get the correct contstruction / security context
established.  "Product" classes (like your Meeting/Attendee, or
like CMF's Document/Link/NewsItem) can't be created directly by
through-the-web code, because TTW code can't call the methods which
"seat" them into their containers.
