Assister à une réunion
/asiste a yn ʁeynjɔ̃/

Assister
to attend
à
at
une réunion
a meeting
Good to know
Assister à takes à and is used for anything you attend: a meeting, a concert, a wedding, a lecture. Without the à, assister means to assist or help someone, which is a third meaning worth keeping separate.
Correct
Assister à une réunion
What people say wrong
Attendre une réunion
to wait for a meeting
The mistake to avoid. Assister à means to attend; attendre means to wait. One letter apart in your head, an hour apart in your calendar.
