Search Meetups

A list of known Search Meetups, informal gatherings of search engine developers, enthusiasts, experts and beginners (nothing to do with SEO, sorry!). If you’d like your event to be listed please email us with a hyperlink and geographical location. We’ve put some in italics as we know these groups haven’t met for a while, and added a bold V for those we think are fully or partly organised by vendors. Usually we blog about the Meetups we attend. If there’s no Meetup in your region – why not start one? We’d be happy to advise you!
