How Meetup works, step by step
Four weeks before Groceryshop, we send a step-by-step guide. The process is below:
- Step 1: Build Your Profile. Tell other attendees who you are, what you run and what you came for.
- Step 2: Meeting Selection & Opt-In. Pick who and opt in. Filter, search and shortlist thousands of attendees, and accept the requests that match your goals.
- Step 3: We Schedule. Once you accept, the calendar invites land automatically.
Show up. Every meeting on your schedule is one both sides chose. No filler, no cold approaches.
