In fairness, who hasn’t turned up to the wrong meeting and tried to blend in?
Here is a picture of President Barack Obama at a a roundtable discussion on clean energy at Hill Air Force Base in Utah on 3 April, 2014.

"We thought they wanted a representative from our company in the audience," the user wrote. "Turns out they wanted the representative for a special round table with the president. Due to this mix up we sent my friend (a leader in our CAD department) instead of the CEO."
The user said at the time that they hadn't been able to talk to their friend – who, according to photo agency captions is a man named Marvin Lance Futch.
Other members of the meeting included Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker. A representative for Mayor Becker's office told BuzzFeed News that Futch being invited accidentally was highly unlikely.
"The gatherings that took place while President Obama was here were organized and overseen by the White House folks, including assembling invite lists," the representative said. "Based on the security measures that were in place for all the POTUS events, I find it very hard to believe that anyone could have 'accidentally' been included."
