What we’re about
Meetup Albany is your place to meet new people, create new friends and discover great things to do in Albany. You can join an event that interests you, or if there is something you would like to do that isn't happening become a host and make it happen. The team at Meetup Albany will support and train you about how to create an event that is friendly and welcoming for people to connect with and share.
People + Fun = connections and we, at Meetup Albany, want to help everyone in Albany to feel connected and a part of the community through your shared passions and interests. It is one way we, the team, can be warriors against loneliness.
Your Meet Up administration team is made up of people from the Albany Regional Volunteer Service, the City of Albany Community Development and Rainbow Coast Neighbourhood Centre. Together we will help you get the most out of your experience on Meetup.
