For smaller clients, yes we bill, for bigger clients... usually not.
We are a tiny company, so if me or my partner (our GM) is out at a meeting, chances are we are not being able to bill for much "real" work during that time.... so with smaller clients we do charge, and we have an hourly rate for meetings. It's not nearly as much as our rate for shooting, editing, or some other stuff... but it's better than nothing.
Conversely, we have a couple of really big clients, and they get differernt treatment. If a client's annual billing is high, say, in the six-figure range or near that, we will gladly go to their place and dance in a grass skirt if that's what they need... free. Not pretty.
