We’re all about our online community, but we also realize that web-based interaction can only go so far. That’s why today we’re announcing Quirky Meetups, a worldwide effort to get Quirky community members to interact face-to-face. This is your chance to meet other community members in your area, chat about invention and collaboration and maybe earn some free swag in the process!
This is a great opportunity and we can’t do it alone. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be recruiting volunteers to help us plan and organize Meetup groups. We’ve selected 10 big cities to start with, but if you’re interested in leading one somewhere else, we want to hear from you.
1. New York
2. Chicago
3. San Francisco
4. Los Angeles
5. London
6. Houston
7. Seattle
8. Washington DC
9. Dallas
10. Toronto
We’re looking for outgoing individuals with boundless enthusiasm for invention and everything Quirky. You’ll need to be organized and outgoing to host a great event. So, if you think you’ve got what it takes, sign up below. If you have any questions send us an email to meetup@quirky.com. We’re excited to get started.
Not interested in leading a meetup but still want to participate? Head over to meetup.com/Quirky and sign up to attend one in your city.

Andrea and Michael? We could get something going in the great state of Pennsylvania?

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far! We have 14 registered Quirks in New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington DC on the Meetup page. Help spread the word and make your meetup the best in the world!

hey this is just a suggestion what might help you out set this up is to create a Local Community page for each location. i know that quirky has community groups that know each other out sit of quirky. making a page for thesis group of people would help jumpstart this idea. just a suggestion I live in Dallas
