yesterday's meeting vs yesterdays meeting

The correct phrase here is "yesterday's meeting"; you are using the possessive of the word "yesterday" to indicate that the meeting belonged to yesterday. The plural of "yesterday" doesn't make any sense, since there is only one yesterday.

yesterdays meeting
