I think what has been suggested for you is to create an external
scheduling app that can communicate to asterisk via the manager
interface and possibly another method. 

You can use AGI or a C app to contact the scheduling app and make it
aware of the call. Then move the call into the appropriate meetme
conference.

Your external scheduler then can use the manager interface to monitor
times and optionally boot users out of the conference when the timeout
occurs.
