It would be better to say " ... he will be meeting guests ... ". Both of your sentences improperly mix present and future tenses.
"Is" and "meets" are the current tense and "next" is being used to indicate the future
tense. "Will be meeting" matches your tenses.

Both are the same tense and interchangeable.
