In many cases, the future continuous form (will be doing) is substituted by the future with 'going to' or the present continuous. The future continuous stresses the action that will be occurring at a precise moment. However, these three future forms convey the same idea with little or no change in meaning.
Example:
I'll be meeting Jack tomorrow at 10. - I'm meeting Jack tomorrow at 10 OR I'm going to meet. Jack tomorrow at 10.
