Meetup: Social Events & Groups

Meetup is a platform that helps people discover and join local and online events based on their interests. With over 50 million members, Meetup offers a wide range of events, from tech conferences to free yoga classes. Users can explore events by category, search by keyword, or see what’s popular in their area. They can also save events they’re interested in and revisit them later. Meetup also allows users to have discussions and use direct messaging to stay in touch with the people they meet. One of the unique features of Meetup is that it allows users to start their own groups and host events online and in person. Users can create a group on their favorite topic and watch their community grow as their group is recommended to interested people. They can easily personalize and schedule events on-the-fly, and manage their group from anywhere. Meetup also allows users to keep the momentum going between events by sharing photos and using discussions and messaging to connect with the people in their group. To recommend Meetup events that are hosted by local groups, the platform uses the user's device's precise location (GPS and network-based). Meetup is available as an app that can be downloaded on both Android and iOS devices. Users can get in touch with questions or suggestions by emailing androiddev@meetup.com. Overall, Meetup is a great platform for people who want to discover new things to do and meet like-minded people. With its wide range of events and the ability to start your own group, Meetup offers something for everyone.
