Local meetups: what's working?
I can't go anywhere locally without meeting someone who wants to buy a business.
It makes sense to bring everyone together not only because of the shared interest, but also for collaborative benefits in searching, troubleshooting, and sharing best practices.
For those of you who have created or attended local meetups, what has worked especially well?
Advice on casualness (meet at a bar/coffeeshop vs. sit down somewhere), whether guest experts are helpful (whether roaming through the group or "speaking"), and more all appreciated!
Additionally, if you're local to central Ohio, is this interesting? What would you want to gain from it to make it worth your time?
