Gobble, Giggle, Gather: Organizer Stories to Be Thankful For!

This Thanksgiving season, let’s give thanks for the weird, wonderful, and downright hilarious moments that make being a Meetup organizer totally worth it. 🙌

Last month, we talked about dealing with member challenges. This month, we’re flipping the script — and celebrating the good stuff! The laughter, the surprises, the people who make us say, “Yep, THIS is why I do this.”

Join us for a casual, feel-good, laugh-filled chat about:

🍁 That one event that went totally sideways but somehow became legendary.
🍁 A member who made your day (or your year!).
🍁 The unexpected wins — like when three strangers at your event became best friends.
🍁 What fills your “organizer cup” when you start to run on empty.
🍁 Tiny victories — like nailing the group photo, finding the perfect venue, or remembering someone’s name.

Come ready to share stories, swap smiles, being a drink to toast and remind each other why we keep hitting that “Create Event” button!
