The Meetup app is a platform that allows users to easily connect with like-minded individuals and create groups of friends who share similar interests. With over 330,000 groups and friends to choose from, users can discover and participate in a variety of local and online events, from tech conferences to free yoga classes. The app also offers the option to host your own events or join one of the 100,000 Meetup events happening every week.
Users can explore events by category, search by keyword, or view a map to see what's popular in their area. They can also save events they're interested in and come back to them later. The app allows users to pick and choose the people and friends they want to meet at these events, making it easy to connect with others who share their interests.
In addition to attending events, the Meetup app also offers a platform for users to have discussions with the people they meet and stay in touch with their new friends through direct messaging. This allows users to expand their online network and create new groups of friends who share their interests.
The app also offers the option to start a group and host your own events, both online and in person. By creating a group on your favorite topic, you can meet friends who are interested in participating and watch your community of friends and network of people grow. The app also makes it easy to personalize and schedule events on-the-go, and manage your group from anywhere.
To keep the momentum going between events, users can share photos and use discussions and instant messaging to connect with the people and friends in their group that they are keen to meet. And for any questions or suggestions, users can get in touch with the Meetup team via email.
In order to recommend Meetup events that are hosted by local groups, the app uses the user's device location. This allows for a more personalized and relevant experience, as users can easily find events happening in their area.
