Considering it was a tech meetup, was it possible that the people there were there to....meet people, not recruiters? Maybe? I know I don't generally go to meetups with the express purpose of looking for a job. Although maybe if someone dropped a juicy high wage job offer for a dream job in my lap, then that's a different story. I doubt that's what was being offered, though. Notice I said job offer, not an invite to go through whatever long and arduous process these companies probably have, only to probably get passed over because I didn't answer one algorithm question just perfectly. Now if you called it a job fair, or hiring event, or something like that, maybe you'd get a different crowd of people.
