Has anyone tried to host a local meetup for WikiTree?

Question

I think it would be cool to have a meetup for people who use WikiTree or who might be interested. Have you tried something like this?

Great question, Sandi!

A bunch of us are meeting up in two days at RootsTech in Salt Lake City.

Answer 1

Sadly, not all of us can get to RootsTech in Utah so this is an amazing idea Sandi.

I'll be very interested in hearing from others regarding this idea!

Answer 2

When I first saw the subject line, I assumed that you were talking about Meetup.com. I used to be very active there.

But sure, if anybody ever plans anything for the Niagara/Buffalo area, give me a holler.

Hi Greg, I'm still thinking about starting a meetup in Virginia.

Answer 3

I was looking through my old answers to find something that I had written a few years ago that I thought might be appropriate in a current thread, when I stumbled across this old thread. 

I still think it applies. Sure, there are big conferences like RootsTech, but not everybody has money for things like hotels, plane fare, etc. So I still think that local get-togethers for genealogists who live near one another could be fun and helpful. (Maybe pick a coffee shop right near a cemetery, library, archive, or something similar? )

Answer 4

Meet with other people?? So you mean that I would actually have to leave my room?
