Connections: A new feature for friendship 💥

Announcing Connections—A new way to make friends

At Meetup, we think making friends should be easy. That’s why we’ve launched Connections, a new tool designed to help people stay in touch after an event. The Connections feature is a private contact list of people you’d like to get to know and attend future events with.

How the Connections feature works:

Say you get along with someone at a Meetup event. Once the event is over, Meetup will prompt you to connect with fellow attendees. If you select an attendee and they also select you, you’ll become each other’s connection. By connecting on Meetup, you and another person have indicated you want to attend future events together. With Connections, you’ll get event recommendations from people who know what you like.

Meet, select, connect. Then attend more events together. Fast-track friendship—find your next event and start connecting!
