Hacker News Meetups

What does an HN meet up do differently than your average other technology meet up already does?<p>In my city, Calgary, we have Python, js, datascience, beginner coder and much more. Most of them you can attend for free, so you can pick and chose what talk you go to.<p>What sort of talks&#x2F;events do HN meetips typically offer?

It showed Stanford as one of the cities, but clicking the link displayed the message &quot;The Meetup Group you&#x27;re looking for doesn&#x27;t exist.&quot;<p>It would be a shame if we had to rely on Meetup.com to organize these things. I&#x27;ve heard complaints from attendees and organizers about the platform&#x2F;fees. Ideas for alternative ways to organize?

So how do these work? I want to propose one for my city (Toronto) but I am not sure if I can handle the logistics. Or do people just pick a common place to meet and that&#x27;s it?

I would be disappointed to discover that the collective intelligence that I find in HN is not well represented when I speak with any member of the HN community, so better to continue with my bliss ignorance.

&gt; Most of the groups use meetup.com<p>Can anyone suggests free alternatives? I want to set one up for Waterloo, Canada but don&#x27;t want to pay for a plan when I&#x27;m not sure if an audience exists.

Hmm. I am not sure if I want to meet HN people. Not that I don’t love the community. But I like the relative anonymity of this page. There is a reason why we don’t have profile pages with pictures here.

Went to check my city (Atlanta) to see if going there would be convenient. Get greeted by a demand to log in to LinkedIn. Oh well.

There&#x27;s already a pretty good hacker community meeting list, with lots of folks attending around the world.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.2600.com&#x2F;meetings&#x2F;mtg.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.2600.com&#x2F;meetings&#x2F;mtg.html</a>

Would be great to meet up with some people in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Let me know if you want to get a coffee or beer.<p>I recently started an Indie Hackers meetup [1] in Chiang Mai, and we had our first meetup a few days ago. Feel free to come along next month if you&#x27;re interested in startups and bootstrapping.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;groups&#x2F;indiehackerschiangmai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;groups&#x2F;indiehackerschiangmai</a>

Anyone in the Kansas City, MO area interested in doing a meetup?

Open invitation for a beer here in Bend, Oregon if anyone stops by.<p>Although right now... would not be the best time to stop by as we&#x27;re buried in something like a meter of snow.

What makes for a good meetup? I&#x27;ve been contemplating starting one in my town, but it&#x27;d seem that having a plan for the meetup would help.

I don&#x27;t see Amsterdam. If anyone is interested in co-organizing a meeting with me there (or attending it), my email is in my profile.

There must be others in Belfast (Northern Ireland) lurking around here? Should we get a meetup sorted?

I used to attend the Paris meetups. A bit of networking but mostly for the lectures. The presenter from Mindgeek was particularly memorable.<p>Recently relocated to the US and building a new network. Anyone interested in meeting up in the Miami&#x2F;FLL&#x2F;WPB area?

Be happy to meet with anyone in Auckland, New Zealand

The Atlanta one is a LinkedIn URL?! Party foul!

What do people do at these meetups?<p>Nothing for Downtown Minneapolis where I&#x27;m at. I might have figure a way to change that.

Does anyone know what happened to HNLondon? Or know of other similar sort of events in London or the wider UK?

Anyone interested in organizing a meetup in Denver? Email me! ryan [@] decentraland.org

Looking for a meetup in the 757. If anyone is around this area lets do it!

Anyone around Pasadena, CA interested in a meetup? Santa Monica is...far.

Has anyone had any significant success finding valuable networks?
