In my last job my company took their turn to host a quarterly meeting.  The manager who attended with me was the Chairman for the year.  At the first meeting, he asked everyone to go round the table and introduce themselves, so not only did I have each person's name and company they were from, but I also familiarised myself with faces for the next meeting.  I found this really helped.

At each meeting thereafter I circulated an attendance sheet for each person to sign/tick.  Very often we had attendees in absence of others, so it was good to get visitors' names also for the purpose of the minutes.

Managers should take this into consideration but as a new member of staff, don't be afraid to ask, even after the meeting if you need to stop someone and say, excuse me you were just at XYZ meeting but I didn't quite catch your name....etc.
