Not sure if that's the right lesson. After all, the 1 stakeholder did show up. It would have been a slight to them if you had called off the meeting (basically saying to them that they're not the important one).

I think a better lesson would have been to make sure to check in with the other 2 stakeholders soon after the meeting and provide them with the minutes so they were in the loop.

Same lesson different phrasing —

A CTO was in my country and wanted to see our prototype. We had meetings booked the whole day, and the CTO ran very late... could have easily waited, but decided to go to the next meeting.

Instead in 3 months we flew to the CTOs home base, and the demo fell over... it was fine in our home country, just screwy in the other.

lesson: be with the decision makers as early as you can

Nah. It's on the other two for not showing up
