"Your attendance is required at this meeting..." seems to capture the register more or less. The point is, you've got to be there, the boss says so/requires it..!

without exception
"I implore all of you, without exception, to attend this meeting." Može također ovako: "The meeting is mandatory for all", ali je tada manje direktno.

If you break the word itself down, it basically means "non-discriminatory" or "non-exclusionary". It isn't in EuDict.com either. This is one I really had to figure out!

Perhaps you're right. To leave out something (or someone) would still be phrased as "izostaviti". There is a sense of urgency, nevertheless, for this person to attend. I thought it was addressed to multiple people. Sorry.

Pavle Perencevic
: Neizostavno means "without fail" or "by all means", not "without exception", which would be "bez iznimke". The sentence is obviously addressed to ONE person only because "Vas" is capitalized (polite form of addressing one person in correspondence).

Miomira Brankovic
: I fully agree with Pavle, "by all means" would be appropriate. He should post this as a separate answer.
