Well, ties are always in for business meetings, so you will have to decide whether "giving them up" is more important than accepted attire or not. None of us will care what you do, but we all have to make choices and accept the consequences. And that goes for kilts.
Personally, I always opt for the more conservative in business situations, subscribing to the maxim that few people notive or note conservative clothing, but everyone notes odd or ostentatious attire.
For business in a kilt, I'd opt for a gray wool jacket with a vest (it's a bit less "showy" than the large silver buckle) and keep everything "un"-shiny. Subdued sporran and shoes and hose would keep the overall tone subdued so that the focus is indeed business and not your outfit. Leave the bling for other occassions. Cessna could give you some good tips on proper dress in a business situation.
But you must remember that I am old, beat-up, and crotchety. And I tend toward pretty conservative clothing in general.
Take a look at the photo below; it's kind of what I am talking about. And good luck.

I'm not good lookin', but I'm somehow sweet and kind.

I no longer have to play in the corporate game, however, when I was in the game, I mainly wore suits. The times I was able to wear a kilt, I would still wear the white shirt and tie with a gray Argyle and black hose with my Bally loafers. Similar to what Glen and Jim are wearing above.

I don't often wear a kilt at work, but here is a couple of examples, one with a waistcoat and one without:
