      You mean what *was* the topic of the meeting. It was last night. It was just a Q&A session.
      
      (Guide for headline writers: the present tense, indicative mood ["Larry stubs toe during Geek Cruise"] is used for headlining past events, the infinitive mood ["Damian to switch to Eiffel after grant money runs out"] is used for future events.)

          The initial submission came in and was posted the day after the event. I modified the headline to be accurate AND awkward, instead of merely awkward. :-)

        O.k, by that logic, "What IS the topic of the meeting" is correct.
        "Meeting is just Q&A session."

        Thanks.
