Meetup, now under the ownership of Bending Spoons, delivers a vibrant platform for Canadians to discover and participate in both in-person and virtual gatherings centered on shared interests. The service presents a robust catalog of interest-based groups—ranging from outdoor adventures and tech meet-ups to book clubs and hobby circles—with clear categorization and efficient search tools.

Users can easily browse upcoming events, RSVP, and follow groups directly via the web or the iOS/Android app. The mobile experience further streamlines event discovery and management, enabling notifications, personalized suggestions, and seamless participation. Hosting is also straightforward—group organizers can create, schedule, and moderate events, often coordinating both physical meetups and online calls within the platform.

Under Bending Spoons’ ownership, Meetup benefits from renewed technical investment and product focus, while retaining its original mission of connecting people in real life. This blend of global support and grassroots community ethos makes Meetup a practical choice for Canadians seeking meaningful, interest-driven engagement—whether that’s expanding social circles, pursuing learning opportunities, or simply finding a local community. Overall, Meetup stands out as a user-centred, flexible hub for community interaction with appreciable breadth and depth.
