to bring (a meeting) forward (by one month): to change the date of (a meeting) to (one month) earlier (for example, to change the date from June 24th to May 24th) idiom
to postpone (a meeting): to move or change the date of (a meeting) to a later time verb

Examples

Exercise 1
TRUE or FALSE?

Philip's meeting in Hong Kong has been moved to a later date.
TRUE or FALSE?

Philip's meeting in Hong Kong has been moved to a later date.
This isn't a true statement.
This statement is false. In her message, Samantha writes that "the meeting in Hong Kong has been brought forward by 1 day". To "bring (a meeting) forward" is to move it to an earlier date, not a later date. Here's another example: "I'd like to bring my appointment with the dentist forward by a week, because my teeth are really hurting!".
