Hi Rick
We use a third party tool to supplement Outlook when booking meeting rooms, and this tool does tell us who has booked the room. So our default configuration in Exchange only shows free/busy, and the tool then tells us who has it booked.
Assuming that you aren't hiding meeting information on the Surface Hub itself (unless of course someone books it as a private meeting) then giving the organisation read permissions to the Surface Hub calendar is no different from them going into the room to check the Welcome Screen and the meeting carousel on the Surface Hub itself.
So long as it's only the meeting subject and organiser that is made read only and not the content of the meeting invite itself, then personally I'd see no problem with this.
After all, if the meeting is private they can mark it as such and it'll still hide the meeting details.
