There will be a meeting (gerund) at the town hall at 8 o'clock this evening. I hope to be meeting (present participle) John there.



“Meeting” as in "There will be a meeting" is not a gerund. It is listed in dictionaries as a noun.

Collins Cobuild English Dictionary
 
And what about this:
"I' m looking foward to going swimming" or "I'm looking foward to go swimming" ?
Which one is right?
 
One piece of advice:

P.S. The 1st seems right to me.

Cheers!
