Organize a Meetup
Meetups aren’t held by MaxFun staff or hosts—they’re held by MaxFunsters who want to hang out with their local community, talk about podcasts, and make new friends. The process for running a meetup is super simple:
- Pick a time and a location near you. Anywhere that can host a small group works! Popular locations include bars, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, public parks, and game stores. Most events start around 6:00pm local time, but you can do earlier or later!
- Tell us about it. Email cn@maximumfun.org with your location, venue name, the time your meetup is starting, and any other information you want to include (like “Look for Stacey M. wearing a grey MaxFun hoodie” or “Go to the back room, past the bar”). We’ll add your meetup to the list above so other MaxFunsters can find it! If you’d like to make a Facebook event to organize information, feel free to link us to that, too.
- Host the meetup! After that, all you’ve gotta do is show up and have fun with other people who love podcasts as much as you do.
And, an optional bonus step: if you’re interested in printable signs, name tags, and activities for your meetup, check out the official Meetup Day Kit!
If you have any questions about running a meetup, email cn@maximumfun.org and they’ll be happy to help you out.
