Probably a greater percentage than of all meetings.

The kind of stuff you need to be in person for tends to be the stuff that doesn't give you the advance timing to plan travel.

That isn't my experience at all. International events, press tours, a series of customer meetings, etc. are the sort of thing that most benefits from in-person attendance and they're scheduled well in advance.

You're thinking way too positive. Lots of lawyers/technicians/consultants/reps have to be places on short notice for bad reasons.

That's mathematically vacuous. Any number except 0 is a greater percentage of any enumerable proper subset than of the entire set.
