You get told that your noon meeting has been moved forward by two hours
What time is the meeting at now?

And yet, when the clocks go forward at 2am, you change them to 3am.

False. Whether or not it's a grammatical or technical linguistic error, the correct answer is the one that's in common usage (because it's a very commonly used and understood terminology). Thus, moving a meeting forward means making it earlier.

If you push something back, it’s going further away, if you bring something forward, it comes closer

Disagree, I've had meetings move forward and they've been in earlier rather than later

Also, comparing it to changing the clocks isn't like for like. When you change the clocks either forward or back for daylight saving you're either changing them back in time (1am becomes 12am again or 12am jumps forward in time to become 1am) whereas in the meeting context you can't say you're moving a meeting back in time both forward and back happen in the future
