About us
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.

Cafe Philo: tribes and tribalism?
Albany Public Library, 221 York Street, Albany, AUIs tribalism a flaw in human nature that we should try to overcome, or is it an unavoidable consequence of some of our most valuable human capacities (such as belonging, cooperating, trusting, and caring)?
Join us for a morning of philosophical discussion. No prior philosophy experience required, just an open mind, a respectful attitude, and a willingness to both question and be questioned.
- Are you drawn to groups that share your values and beliefs, or do you take on the values and beliefs of groups you belong to?
- If a member of your own group does something wrong, do you have a greater obligation to defend them, or to hold them accountable?
- How could we provide the valuable functions of the Palaeolithic tribe in the modern era of the (increasingly fractured) nuclear family?
- What do we need from a community that a loving partner, family, and friends cannot reliably provide?
