We can’t share attendees’ contact information (it’s against Meetup.com T&Cs) but you’re welcome to run a prize draw or something if you want to get folks’ email addresses.
How it works
- Get in touch with Dylan Beattie to say you’d like to host a meetup.
- Dylan will visit your office, meet the team, check out the space, highlight anything that we need to consider like accessibility or A/V setup.
- Ideally, we’ll confirm a date during that meeting. If not, we can follow up by email.
- We’ll arrange the speakers and promote the meetup via social media channels
- A week ahead of the meetup, we’ll confirm numbers for catering
- The day of the meetup, we’ll close RSVPs and provide a list of attendees if required by building security
