- meetups with rather specific topics (e.g. python, local startup meetup, ...)
- regular schedule (every other monday, first monday in the month, ...)
- selling from the organizer definitely kills the motivations to go there regularly
- group traits: good mixture of junior and senior people => different levels of experience and know-how
- I would not pay for regular meetups, but probably for one-time networking events if I trust the organizer to make it good or if the company pays.
- I like short talks + discussion formats. barcamps are pretty cool, too. not gonna lie.
- karles 4y agoWe are working with a 4-hour session-span, 4 times a year with facilitated exercises and discussions. We have a pretty exclusive position in the market, and will thus charge a fee for attending. Most likely, people will get the fee covered by their employer. It's not a personal network, but a professional/invite-only network (for now!). People who attend are invited and are using the same piece of software (something similar to an ERP-solution) Thanks for your input!
- Shinmon 4y agoIf it's a professional event and the attendees are only there because the companies they work for use a specific software, that makes a lot of sense. That's more like facilitating community building and not comparable to a meetup in my eyes. Even though I might have some professional interest in using the software, it's purely based on my company's using it. What would be important in this context for me is that actual users share how they use it, what tricks they use, best practices and so on.
