There's no official way, and it tends to be pretty hard to get a critical mass of people to attend. When I first started Hackers & Founders in Silicon Valley, it was 4 people and me in a bar. I kept the meetup going for a couple of years, and as of last March we were at 500 members. Then, something happened this past year, and it grew to over 4,000 members. Meetup.com is great for distribution. And, figure out where the closest Startup Digest is to you. Submit your events to them. They tend to pick up events like that. If you have any other questions, feel free to ping me.
