We have been in existence for 5 years, and we are one of the earliest established and one of the most successful Meetup groups in the greater Orlando area. If you use the Meetup formula of:
(# of members in a Meetup group) + (3 "times" the # of Meetups events the group has had), we are among the top 5 Meetup groups in Central Florida. We have 4 or 5 "well attended" Meetups a month.

The "Original Goal" of this Southwest Orlando Social & Networking Meetup group, was to have Meetups which are easily accessible to people who live or work in South Orlando, but now we have members from (and schedule events) in many parts of Central Florida.

Often, clicking on our Main Group Photo, will show you the "Group" and "Main" photos from most of our past Meetups. Otherwise, it will take you to the photos to our most recent Meetup.

We have many well attended events, ranging from our "Signature" event Velvet Sessions at Universal Hard Rock Hotel, to many other events like Red Coconut at City Walk, dancing at Backstage Lounge, Bravo! Cucina Italiana, Vines Wine & Grill Bar, Tavern on the Lake, Cricketers Arms, bike rides on the West Orange trail, WMMO Free concerts in Downtown Orlando, annual charity events like "Motorcycles & Martinis", plus much more.

We welcome both singles and couples to be a part of our group of friends to get out and enjoy diverse activities that allow us the opportunity to meet other people, make new friends and enjoy fun events together.
