Meetup
The people platform. Where interests become friendships.
Meetup is a platform for discovering local groups, events, and activities, both online and in person. Members can browse upcoming events, join groups organized around shared interests, and create their own groups to host events. The service has been operating since 2002.
Features include event discovery across categories such as travel, social activities, hobbies, sports, health, technology, art, games, career, and science; group creation and event planning; and a mobile app available on the App Store and Google Play for finding events, managing groups, and planning events from a phone. Meetup is intended for individuals looking to meet people, pursue interests, and connect with others locally, as well as organizers who want to start groups. Membership is free.
