Ask HN: Has anyone hosted a local HN Meetup?
3 comments
Co-hosted a local Bitcoin meetup like a decade ago, it was basically a local HN meetup as we ended up talking about HN and it turned out we were all active users :)
We had two different types of events, one which is the typical "Here is a person presenting, now you can ask question and later we all chat and drink beer", and the other more casual "lets just meet at this bar, order some food and see what happen", which I think worked out very well as long as you get some regulars you can semi-rely on.

did you find them though this fourm or elsewhere?
No, the event was initially just on Meetup so guess most found us via that website, and it was somewhat of a coincident that many of the people who ended up going to the events were also HN users.
has anyone had sucess in orgainised one of these kind of meetups in a pub like once a month?
