What's a Meetup Group?
A Meetup Group shares a cause or interest and meets regularly face-to-face. There are literally thousands of local Meetup Groups for thousands of interests.

Political supporters…
Poker players…
Pekingese lovers…

Over one million people all over the world have joined local Meetup Groups. In the last two years, Meetup Groups have brought communities together, shaken up politics, given people a voice…and had a lot of fun. United we Meetup!
Meetup Groups usually get together at least once a month. These real-world, face-to-face gatherings are called 'Meetups.'
Meetups are usually informal, and are open to anyone who's curious—bring friends if you like. Most Meetups happen at public places like restaurants, cafés, or public parks, though sometimes they take place in private homes or offices.
In most cases, the Organizer will welcome members, and will often have a printed sign to help you find the Meetup Group. Generally, people take a few minutes to introduce themselves.
Some Meetups are based around activities—like knitting, foreign language practice, or getting dogs out to play. Others focus on organizing for a cause, whether getting a political candidate elected or planning the March for Women's Lives. At other Meetups, people swap information and stories—about a shared health condition, say, or life as a stay-at-home Mom.How to find a Meetup Group
