Local Meetups
Informal gatherings organized by IWA members to network, share knowledge, and build community in your city.
Grassroots Community Building
IWA local meetups are informal gatherings organized by members in cities around the world. These events bring together webcasting professionals for networking, knowledge sharing, and community building without the formality of conferences or structured workshops.
Meetup Format
Casual Networking
Most meetups are evening events at restaurants, bars, or member offices. The relaxed atmosphere encourages authentic connections and open conversation about webcasting challenges and opportunities.
Lightning Talks
Some meetups include brief 5-10 minute presentations from attendees on current projects, new technologies, or lessons learned. Participation is optional but encouraged.
Show and Tell
Members share interesting setups, new equipment, or production techniques. Hands-on demonstration and experimentation in informal settings.
