Thanks to everyone who offered to host a meetup. We’re scheduled for meetups in 62 cities in 16 countries, so…wow. Full list of cities, times, and places is below.

Some tips from past experience with these meetups:

1. If you’re the host, bring a sign that says “SSC MEETUP” and prop it up somewhere on a table

2. Bring blank labels and pens for nametags.

3. Pass around a paper where everyone gives their name and email address, so you can start a mailing list to make organizing future meetups easier

4. If it’s the first meetup, people are probably just going to want to talk, and if you try to organize some kind of “fun” “event” it’ll probably just be annoying.

5. Some things that have worked for later meetups include people giving short presentations on topics of interest to them, or discussion of some particular blog post

6. Nothing is going to get done unless there’s a Schelling point for who has to do it, and right now that’s the meetup organizer.

7. It’s ten times easier to schedule a second meetup while you’re having the first compared to trying to do it later on by email

8. Some cities have existing LW meetup groups you might want to coordinate with

9. Surprisingly many people will love you forever if you bring stim toys

10. In case people want to get to know each other better outside the meetup, you might want to mention reciprocity.io, the rationalist friend-finder/dating site.
