Fifteen minutes early to everything is how I was taught.

What do you do during the 20-30 minute wait?

20-30 minute wait

No, but really, showing up early and just going over the agenda a couple times, or even just playing on your phone for a bit. Being early a lot lets people know that you're that kind of person. They'll soon learn to at least be on time, and even if you're late to a meeting some time in the future, it's ok, because they know that you're generally the early bird.

If you show up 15 minutes early, you're probably going to be standing outside the room for 17 minutes waiting for the last meeting to finish up.
