What happens in a meetup?

I get this question every year, and the answer to that is “It varies.” The food, the games, the activities are different per meetup.

So let some of our organizers and attendees tell you about their experience. For organizers, maybe the following can help you come up with activities. For possible attendees, maybe these will help you decide finally if you’re going to attend a meetup or not.
