Hi Greg, I can't speak to best practices or anything formal of that nature, but I hosted a BP get together here in San Antonio earlier this month and everyone seemed to have a great time. 

@Michael Sherwood  hosts the event, and is a good person to connect with. 

@Dave Bingham Thanks for hosting.

The CO Springs REIC hosted by Michael Jake and the REI Happy Hour downtown at the Ritz hosted by @Travis Sperr are both excellent groups.
