Yes. I recently helped organize our first meetup in my city in southern Spain. Since it was only our first meetup we mostly introduced ourselves and got to know everyone's journey into Bitcoin (and crypto in general). The group was small, but very diverse - just like the Bitcoin community.

Never been to an actual meetup but I've been in a skype conference call about bitcoin for many times now. As of this moment, we're planning to hold one on the 15th of September, but I'm not sure whether it will take place or not because some of the prominent members of our group do have some affairs at that time.

I wasn't in a bitcoin meetup yet. But I was once in room 77 in Berlin, chill place and few bitcoin folks there. I wished there were bigger bitcoin meetups/conferences in Germany.

I've been to a couple of meet ups here in Melbourne. Didn't really talk about anything though because both were for bitcoin documentary launches. I had a good time.

If you don't live in bigger cities like London, Paris, New York, these meet-ups are waste of time in my opinion. You can't have big and quality speakers, so this means nobody will come from the audience.
I have never been in one such event. There are none close to where I live. And I would only wanna go to the major ones anyways.

But the difficult part is to find a location to host the actually meetup, you may need some money to buy food and drinks and other important stuff for a meetup. |

I don't disagree, but they aren't a complete waste of time. Linking up with other Bitcoiners in your area is good for local trading among other things. |

Not only have I been to a couple meetup in my area I volunteered to be a speaker at an upcoming Denver meetup and I just joined the new Boulder area meetup. Colorado Bitcoin Society Monthly Meetup Monday, September 14, 2015 6:00 PM Southern Hospitality, 1433 17th Street, DenverColorado Bitcoin SocietyMy full speaking schedule is here: http://www.burtw.com/speaking-schedule--new-.htmlBurtW will talk about his experience of being investigated and tracked for 18 months, indicted by a grand jury, arrested, charged with a Federal felony, and thrown into solitary confinement all over simply trading Bitcoins on localbitcoins.com.
He will also discuss the nine months of legal negotiations that led to the charges finally being dropped and the return of most of the property seized in the raid on his home and corporate offices.
We expect the talk to lead into an extensive question and answer session and the discussion of the subjects: Bitcoins, localbitcoins.com, law enforcement tactics, the law, licenses, civil asset forfeiture, the prison system, the justice system, homeland security, the patriot act, surveillance, etc. All of which happened to him personally. |
Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated! |

Nope, but I would love to go to one.
But I doubt that in my country, the meet ups happen or not. BTW I'm from India.
Don't think that meet ups happen here because in my friend circle, only one person knows about Bitcoin, so it's a long way to go.

Yes, I went to one meetup. It wasn't very interesting, though. There were some people very supportive of BTC in the assistance, but the speaker was much more of a critic. I still think of meetups as a good idea, they're certainly useful, but don't go there as I did only because it's a BTC meetup. Check what will be the subject(s), and who will speak.

No and I don't think I would. Every time adults gather around a common interest things tend to get a bit weird.

I haven't yet because the nearest ones are 6 hrs away by bus and ferry. I believe there was one in my town year or two ago but had dissapointing turn out.
My town has pretentions as a tech hub but it's also got a hippy tradition, so while there are a good number of tech savvy people here they still manage to be anti-technocracy. Microsoft came and opened a hub here a few years ago and wound up shuttering the operation inside 6 months. You can't force tech hub on a place, you just have to find where the hub already is and then go there.
That place is 6 hours away.
That said, I occasionally visit that city. I'm on their mailing list. They have regular monthly meet ups and they always look pretty cool. There is a lot of btc activity and interest there.
I intend to try and attend next time I visit. The bitcoiners I have met in my town are so apathetic, it would be nice to meet some enthusiastic bitcoiners for a change
