Please Note: Because I've had past events crashed by Zoom Bombers, I have taken every possible security measure possible to prevent it from happening again. As such, you need to be signed into your Meetup account once you've RSVPed for this event in order to see the Zoom link to participate.
I will also send out a Direct Message (DM) via Meetup to everyone who RSVPed prior to the start of the meeting that same morning with the link, which you should be able to view once logged into Meetup. If your Meetup account is set up to forward your DMs to your email, you will also get the message in your email inbox.
Nonetheless, I have received reports from legitimate RSVPed participants that they couldn't find the link on the event page and didn't get a DM. Please make sure you don't accidentally have more than one Meetup account! It's possible to have one linked to your Facebook account and another linked to your Google account, for example, and if you log into the wrong one, you won't see the link for this event.
Please verify that you can see the link once you have RSVPed. If you still don't see the link and haven't gotten a DM with it by 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, please DM me directly or post to the event chat to let me know that you can't find the link, and I will DM you directly with the link if you are an RSVPed participant.
