(You can select English or Spanish as the closed captions for this talk.)

Events like EmacsConf are a great place to meet Emacs users around the
world. You get to learn about new ideas, workflows, packages, and make
new friends as well :) What if I tell you that you can meet fellow Emacs
users more frequently, that too in your region/time zone? Yes, meetup
groups!

In this talk, I will help you explore Emacs meetup groups of your
interest. And cover how to attend meetups, how to stay updated with all
the Emacs related events, and more.

Organizing a meetup and setting up a platform for others is even more
fun! I will cover how to easily get started with organizing meetup
events as well.

Outline:

-   Why meetups?
-   How to find nearby groups?
-   Staying updated with events
-   Organizing meetups
-   My learnings from organizing meetup events
