How to Build a Meetup
You can learn anything! At least that is the premise around a meetup—a gathering place for people who share and express a common interest.
CO:mmunicate meetup facilitator, Kevin Adelsberger of Adelsberger Marketing, explained his philosophy for meetups. “A meetup is a low-investment opportunity for people to learn more about something they like or find a community of like-minded people. Low investment meaning no cost and little time commitment that will hopefully spark your interest and cause you to dive deeper into the subject.”
The community at theCO has found ways to master the meetup. Here’s how.
