Sorry. Didn't read the fine print. Should be: "Briefly, the meeting attended by..., which took place..." or depending upon how much additional info you need to include: "Briefly, the meeting which took place...and (which) was attended by...."
Or...if there isn't a verb and all kinds of additional info that follows the preliminaries, simply: "Briefly, the meeting took place...and was attended by (or...so and so were in attendance)."

Last note: If the only info in this sentence is what you have indicated above, I would go with: "Briefly, the meeting took place on such and such a date with so and so in attendance."

: Although, I would've used "in a nutshell." Someone's writing to the colleagues, not to the bosses.
