Meetups

Create your meetup on Meetup.com as usual, and the event will be added to your site within 30 minutes (or manually via the button on the /meetups page). Once it is on your site, you can add topics and presenters, and even feature it on your homepage.

Topics

The topics page allows your members to suggest topics that they would like to hear about in upcoming meetups. Other members can vote on and discuss the topics, allowing the organizers to easily choose which topics should be presented next.

Presentations

The presentations page gives you a centralized location to store all of your group's presentations. Members can upload their presentations to YouTube, SlideShare, etc, and simply paste a link into the "Add Presentation" form.

Members are granted activity points when performing certain activities. These points are displayed on their profile, and the member list is sorted by those with the most points.
