Meetups are casual in-person gatherings hosted by one or more Athena members.

If you're interested in meeting with any Athena members in your area, hosting an event is a great idea.

The first step is to fill out this form to let us know you're interested in hosting and/or participating in an in-person Meetup. If you’re interested in being a host for the event, a Member Success Manager (MSM) will reach out to help you plan it.

Athena will send out a broadcast message to all members in the area, gauging interest and searching for potential hosts or co-hosts if needed.

Once we have a host -or more- selected and enough interest from members who would like to attend, the host has to define a final date, time, and place for the gathering.

💡TIP: We recommend choosing a casual place that does not require a fee for reservation. It can be a lovely terrace, coffee shop, or Happy Hour at a local bar. Some members like to host at their own homes, asking participants to collaborate with some appetizers and non-alcoholic drinks, for example.

To find upcoming Meetups, make sure to keep an eye on our Upcoming Events. You can filter by events that have 'Meetup' in their title. You can read more about the event from the calendar and RSVP directly.

The Athena team will send invites to members in the area. Be sure your Athena profile is up-to-date, including the ‘Nearest Regional Hub’ field, so we can be sure to include you on the invite!

For more information on meet-ups, you can reach our Member Success Team by clicking on the gold chat icon in the bottom right corner of your screen or by emailing us at [email protected].
