follow up with the person in charge of the "learning" session and put a plan in motion to make up for missing, then go talk to him, tell him you just couldn't make it, and that you've taken steps to remedy.

the email below referring to a personal matter is fine. not to sound holier-than-thou, but the fact that you are basically looking for someone to suggest/validate a conniving way to dishonestly resolve this is pretty disturbing. I hope you try to pull something over him, get called out and are fired by the end of the week

What am I saying is that if you're junior enough to be going to some gay-ass required learning session, it's not plausible that you're having some extemporaneous meeting with a client.

probably because your job sucks dick and you have no real opportunity for advancement because the boomer partners haven't made another partner in several years to preserve the value of their guaranteed compensation contracts to the detriment of, e.g., the continued vitality of the firm, generation of new business, etc.
