Why should you attend our Socials?

We have taken away any and all issues surrounding socializing and meeting new people in Dubai.

1. Meeting new people in groups can be intimidating. The organizers of the Expats meetup understand this and so welcome you when you arrive in our reserved area. We then proceed to introduce you to a few like minded people so that you can chat and settle down.

2. Our socials are very casual and laid-back affairs. We have no registration table, queues, guest lists or ceremony. All you do is walk in like you are meeting old friends and just say hello!

3. There is a very good reason why our socials have small groups of between 20 and 40 people. That is because small groups are better for socializing and everyone can actually meet everyone else through the course of the evening. Everyone just enjoys themselves more!

4. No one is alone in our socials. No starring into glasses and watching others chatting. Our organizers will help you make connections. Just reach out to them. Organizers will be there to help you and introduce you to the other members….

5. We, almost always, tend to have a very good gender, age and cultural balance. No one group dominates, there are no cliques and everyone is very open to make new friends.

You have no absolutely no excuse! There is no need to be shy or worried about meeting new people. Come out and join us. We will help you meet people and make new friends!

MEMBER SAFETY ADVICE

Member safety and enjoyment of our meetup's is very important to us. We do our best to keep our groups safe and non pressured for all. We ask our members to inform an organiser if you were to feel unsafe, uncomfortable or harassed.

We request all members not to share your mobile numbers or email addresses with any attendees unless you know then very well.

We also request you do not respond to any unsolicited meetup messages from strangers or members who you have only just met.

---------------------------

Top Tips on making the best of our Meetups

1. Do not be shy: Everyone who attends meetups have to overcome this fear. Almost everyone who attends actually comes alone. Bring a friend if it makes it easier for you. Please remember that the organisers are there to help you socialise and so go meet them as soon as you come to an event. We will look after you the best we can.

2. Be friendly and welcoming. Meetups are social occasions. If you attend, make the effort to talk to different people, not just people you already know. Make a special effort to welcome newcomers and involve them in the meetup.

3. Attend a few meetups before you decide whether they work for you. The people at every meetup social are different as is the venue, environment, energy etc. One meetup is never like another. Attend at least 3 of them before you decide to become a life long member or stop attending.

4. Don’t just turn up, take part. Meetups work best when everyone participates actively, not just the organisers or old members. Come with a positive mind and cheerful, meet lots of people and involve others. Do not sit in a corner or look at your mobile.

5. Spread the word. If you’ve enjoyed a meetup, don’t keep it to yourself. Tell people you think might benefit. Share links on social media. Blog about your experiences and what you’ve learned and gained. New members are the life blood of the group.

6. Comment, review and feedback: This is a community and it requires both online and offline engagement with other members as well as the organisers. You are invited to provide constructive feedback on the forums. If you want to complain or have a suggestion then that is best done through email or mobile directly to the organisers.

Please be aware that over 10 meetup group that we cooperate with on Dubai. We combine these groups at many of our events and as a result we will have a much larger group of people attending than appears on the RSVPs above. These additional members are shows as guests of our organisers. You can see many of our global groups at https://www.meetup.com/pro/theexpatsclub and at www.theexpatsclub.net (http://www.theexpatsclub.net/)
