What do you look for in a Meetup?

[Luke Grieshop]

Think about meetups you attend or have attended. Why did you go back? Why did you stop attending certain ones? Do you prefer a strict agenda or no agenda at all? Do you pay for the meetup, and if so, what does that get you in return?

Would love to hear everybody's opinion on all things related to the topic!

A few things I look at; do they have a linkedin presence, have they done events before (if so how many), are there speakers and panels, do they have an event schedule of future meetups, is there a membership fee (this can be a good thing because it shows commitment on all members parts), is there a wide array of attendees, investors, operators, GPs, brokers, lenders, etc. Hope these help and that your meetups in 2022 are successful.
