Which meetups? We run like 15+ in the midwest

Hosts are asking for the donations, or the meetup run in the office of bitcoin company

I'm fine with dono's but not being hosted exclusively at VC funded HQ's all the time.

We have a few that do that but not regularly ( meaning having events at VC funded companies' HQ's)

Isnt Chitown bitdevs at Strike HQ?

Yes! I was really happy that hosts moved from the bar to the Strike office but now I realize that it was a mistake

110% agree. Bar is great but more for socials, not actual events. Offices are great for events, but too easy to promote said co. products, which feels a bit "sleezy" to new meetuo members.

We can chat more into details how to do this better for what we've done, but yes I agree there is a problem here. No easy answer.

Meetups are being dependent on sponsorship scheme model ! This is bad !

I don’t even attend my own office

sponsored location pizza and beer? must be nice

You don’t need sponsors for the meetup! You can pay for your drinks on your own 😉

Sounds like it’s time for a meetup mutiny!

This is our 3rd meetup. 3 hours east of Chicago.

May attend!

Why do I have this feeling that the pizza is actually real good?
