2026 GOAL SETTING FOR YOUR MEETUP

A Strategy Session for Organizers, by Organizers
Ready to make 2026 your best Meetup year yet—without burning out?
This interactive workshop is designed exclusively for Meetup organizers who want goals, smoother systems, and engaged members.
Whether you’re running a brand-new group or you’ve been organizing for years, this session will help you step back, reset, and create a practical plan for the year ahead.

***

### In this session, we’ll:

Set Clear, Realistic Goals for 2026

• Define 3–5 core goals for your Meetup (growth, consistency, monetization, deeper community, etc.)
• Turn vague ideas like “grow the group” into specific, measurable targets

Design Your 2026 Meetup Strategy

• Sketch a simple event calendar framework (monthly, quarterly, or seasonal themes)
• Brainstorm event formats that fit your group (online, in-person, hybrid, workshops, socials, co-working, etc.)

Create Systems That Support You (Not Drain You)

• Outline simple admin routines (reminders, templates, checklists)
• Share tools and tricks to save time and reduce organizer stress

***

### Perfect for you if:

• You feel like you’ve been “winging it” and want a more intentional plan
• You’re relaunching or reviving a quiet group
• You want to learn from other organizers, not just figure it out alone

***

### What to bring:

• A 2026 calendar you can take notes on
• Your 2025 Meetup calendar

***

### Format

This won’t be a boring lecture. Expect:

• Time to draft your personal 2026 Meetup plan
• Hear others and their event ideas that you can use

You’ll leave with:

• A clear vision for your Meetup in 2026
• A short list of focused, realistic goals
• A starter event roadmap
• Next steps you can put into action right away
