To conduct a meeting.

To hold a meeting.

Answer 1

The word "a meeting" is itself too formal to use with friends. Instead you meet, hook up, get together, hang out, etc.

It's been too long since we got together! When are you free to hook up?

With professional colleagues, "meeting" is fine. Any of these verbs work:

when creating the meeting: plan, arrange, set up, put together, schedule, organize, book, host, hold, have, convene, call, etc.

when participating in the meeting: attend, join, sit in on, be part of, etc.

when managing a meeting: run, host, manage, lead, coordinate, be in charge of, etc.

Example:

Let's schedule a meeting to discuss the new marketing plan. I'll set up the conference call for those who can't attend in person, but you should run it since you're more familiar with the subject matter.

There's a meeting about the new marketing plan going on in the large conference room. Do you plan to sit in? The VP called the meeting so it must be pretty important.
