Meet some of the best meetups in Brooklyn

There's a cool 10,000 members between the half dozen meetups slated to be at our Brooklyn Super Meetup on Aug. 2. Here's why you should drop by.

Technical.ly’s mission is focused on bringing communities together. The same could be said of Meetup. But how do you get all of a city’s niche tech meetups together in one place for one purpose? You create a Super Meetup.

The idea of the Super Meetup is simple: Meetup groups are integral to any tech scene. Every now and then, it makes sense to rally the leaders of a city’s tech-related meetups and gather for one big mixer. It’s a chance to make new friends, forge new connections and see who’s working on cool stuff.

Super Meetup goes down Wednesday, Aug. 2, from 6–9 p.m. at Work & Co’s gorgeous office space located at 231 Front St.

“Meetups are a defining part of New York’s tech community,” said Work & Co Principal Developer Fernando Andrade. “Connecting with new people and gaining fresh perspectives and approaches is super valuable.”

Here’s who you can mingle with on Wednesday:

Brooklyn Entrepreneurs

“This group is for Brooklyn-based entrepreneurs that love the borough and want to actively explore events and resources that make Brooklyn the DIY business capital of the world. Our monthly events bring together the true movers and shakers in the borough — from the tech startups to the unique local small businesses — and explore various topics unique to Brooklynites.”

Brooklyn Entrepreneurship Meetup

“If you are new to the startup world, or an experienced business, Brooklyn Entrepreneurship’s goal is to help you network and grow towards achieving your objectives. Members include but are not limited to: startup entrepreneurs, small business owners, angel and accredited investors, venture capital managers, crowdfunding experts, and people looking to enjoy the many benefits of being their own boss!”

Brooklyn Futurist Meetup

“The Brooklyn Futurist Meetup is where we discuss what the world might look like in ten years or more. Speakers explore trends with transformative potential… or ones that are just fascinating. Our events usually run in Brooklyn or Manhattan where most members work or live. Topics are not Brooklyn-focused. They are open to attendees and speakers from anywhere. This is America’s largest future-focused meetup with 4,700+ members and in the top 5 globally. We also run a global network of future-focused meetups with tens of thousands more like-minded members in cities like Stockholm, Bangalore, London, Berlin and Singapore. Contact the organizer for details.”
