Share resources. Connect across scenes.
The goal is to meet other organizers, share what we are working on, and help each other make things happen.
Share what you are working on
Bring a question, puzzle, resource, or possibility to the room.
Learn about the host space
Each month, our host tells us about their work and community.

Past meetups
Each meetup is hosted by a different space or project. We gather, hear from the hosts, and spend time talking with organizers from across the city.
Bring a puzzle you are working on. Someone may have worked through it before.
