"set the tone for the meeting"

It means to establish a mood, attitude or overall feeling for the meeting.

For example,
A brainstorming meeting can be fun, creative, and rambunctious. It generates lots of wild ideas.
A meeting for a serious negotiation between parties that don't trust each other can be tense and antagonistic.
