Local Meetup Groups - Worth It?

[rynor]

Hi Fastlaners,

I've been teetering on the idea of joining a local meetup group (via Meetup.com) and attending a meeting. I was wondering if anyone has any previous experience with this.

I run a local service business and have noticed plenty of local "Entrepneur", "Small Business", and other types of groups that may be helpful, but I'm still not sure. I was recently told by someone that most of the groups are run by people trying to sell their own agendas.

My questions to those who have been to a local meetup:

• Did you make any solid connections?
• Was the meetup informative? Did you learn anything?
• Have they been helpful to you in any way?

I guess the only way to know is to actually go to one, but still want to hear your thoughts!
