Next and the next

I'll see you next Monday.
I'll look at it at the next meeting.
I already know both of them are correct but what if I said the second sentence the same as the first one without "the" and "at"?
In what circumstances can we use next with "the"?

If we consider next as an adjective only, then typically it's used without a preceding the when referring to days of the week, or weeks, seasons, years and so on:
We're going camping next week.
My appointment is next Wednesday.
See you next year!
Otherwise, generally speaking, you would use the preceding the:
I'm speaking at the next board meeting.
Please bring in the next client.
Of course, these are generalisations, and there would be exceptions when speaking informally.
