Connecting to Greatness - Inspired Business Networking
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT: 'Connecting to Greatness - In Business. In Life. I'm Kate Gaffin. I'm a lifelong entrepreneur and entrepreneurial energy is my absolute favorite kind. I created Connecting to Greatness because I wanted to create a better, more rewarding and even fun networking experience. Connecting to Greatness is a different kind of networking group. Instead of simply throwing people into a room with no focus or no common goal, we strive to enlighten professionals on how to network more effectively and build their business more authentically. We want our attendees walking away from our gatherings with insight on what to do with all the business cards they've collected and how to cultivate powerful alliances with those they meet. And we want to give our attendees the insights to grow the kind of business success they've always dreamed of. In 2012, Connecting to Greatness will host an event every two to three weeks. Some events will be 'mix and mingles' with some kind of structured activity as its focal point. We will also be repeating our very popular Gallery Wine and Dessert events. Other events will have presentations given by inspiring leaders in the world of success building and I myself will give repeat presentations on my most popular topics from last year. Occasionally, we will also run our 'Speed Networking for Professionals' events as these highly structured gatherings can be VERY productive ways to make new connections…when certain techniques are used to make them so. These techniques are shared at the events. Come out and join us at our next Connecting to Greatness event. We attract a wonderful and inspiring group of NYC area professionals. I look forward to meeting you! Warm Regards, Kate Gaffin Connecting to Greatness

We make an effort to be as inclusive as possible by offering hiking at all levels, from short relaxing hiking trips to 20 mile hiking challenges.

Plus, as a four-season hiking group, there's snowshoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing, and winter mountaineering. Events are generally posted about two weeks in advance Most trips are accessible via public transportation and we try to organize car pools when they are not. These are not guided trips - these are social events This is a social club of hikers, so members are responsible for their own safety. You do not have to be an expert outdoors-person, but you should, at minimum, know roughly what your hiking level is (in terms of the mileage, elevation, and pace you can do) and what gear (clothing, water, etc) you need. Ideally everyone should be comfortable hiking alone just in case the need a rises. If you do not have any hiking experience at all, please hike with a professional guide service a few times. If you'd like to join us, just: 1) Read the About Us page for membership guidelines and a few ground rules 2) Have a profile photo showing your face. (This is required so your organizers can remember who's who) 3) And answer all the profile questions (so we know a little about you and what kind of events we should plan) See you on the trails! -Andre Hiking - Hiking - Hiking - Hiking - Hiking - Hiking

The Hatchery - New York Dot Comers
What is a HATCHERY? It is Venture Collaboration. In New York's competitive venture climate, entrepreneurs often lack the business connections and brand awareness to get the attention of potential funders, and at the same time many investors don't have a pipeline into early-stage technology and Internet companies. The Hatchery provides a unique funnel for innovators to interact with a wide range of investors, present their plans, receive expert feedback, bring in strong leadership, and pave the way for them to receive angel and institutional funding. At the heart of The Hatchery's model is the Gauntlet, an interactive process that gives entrepreneurs 7 minutes to present their business models to a range of investors, followed by panel and audience Q&A/critique. Think of it as "American Idol meets Venture Capital." WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? - Great early stage businesses who would like this priceless expert feedback and looking to meet investors. Are You Serious: - 5 minutes to present your concept to the panel. 5 minutes of grilling to see if the concept holds. - To submit to present: pitch@hatchery.vc Gauntlet: see www.hatchery.vc Hatch Match: Held once yearly during New York City's Internet Week http://hatchmatch2010.eventbrite.com

Arts, Culture and Technology
This group is designed to explore the ways in which social media and technology can help bring arts and culture to the masses. "Democratizing" the arts has been a long-standing goal in the art world, and no medium makes it more feasible than the web. The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, and to explore the following questions: - How can the new technology available help raise awareness about the arts and enrich the audience experience? - How can cultural institutions interact and engage with each other and their audience in meaningful ways? - What can they learn from their audience and how can they use this knowledge to improve the way in which they present their content? - As well as countless others that we hope to uncover at future meetups!

Hacks/Hackers - New York
The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial. This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures.

Girl Develop It
Women Developers and Programmers! Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it. It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. While open and welcoming, today's budding developer community is up to 91% male. There isn't a comfortable place where women can learn at their own pace and not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment. Our courses focus on coding, leveraging existing technology, and having something to show for it (aka building sweet websites). Stay tuned to this meetup for upcoming scheduled classes.

A Different Kind of Ladies' Night
Hi and thanks for checking out A Different Kind of Ladies' Night! Welcome aboard! We are THE LARGEST LESBIAN Meetup Group in NYC! Yay! Be sure to follow us on Facebook! This site and these events are for women like YOU! Women who are tired of the same old lesbian scene in their city and want something more! I started A Different Kind of Ladies' Night over six years ago in Washington, DC, because I, like most lesbian women, wanted something more than what my city offered. I wanted a way to meet, bond, communicate, accept and support other women. I wanted more than a dance club or event. I wanted to make friends, share interests and meet women I could connect with. I wanted something different. I wanted A Different Kind of Ladies' Night. I hope to bring the success I had in Washington, to New York! Note: Although 90% of events we do are FREE, some require payment made which I collect upon RSVP! If it's not stated in the event description than you can assume that the event is a free one. Thanks for being part of this Meetup! See you soon! Also ... Single in the city?

New York City Italian Language, Food, & Culture Club
I may just be the ideal person to represent the Italian culture because I am Italian-American raised in the smells and cultures of Italy in NYC and hope to bring my personal experiences to the group to keep it going strong. My parents are 100% Italian while I was born in NYC as a first generation Italian-American Paone. Growing up, I spend many Summers in Italy and recall them to be the best Summer's of my childhood. Spending the Summer months in Italy was a special time allowing me to experience Italian culture not only at home but first-hand in the homeland. I am excited to share my experiences with you. Come to an event and I'll tell you my stories over nice red wine or two. My fiancé and I started and manage a wine group on Long Island, we organize wine tasting parties and plan to do the same in New York City with this group. What better way to learn about a culture than to taste their wine and food? I am a guy I who thinks with his stomach. I also run a sports group NYMutliSport.com that is where I met Helen my fiancée. I am planning to doing events with a venue where we will provide a several varieties of wine paired with food tastings. No this is not going to be a typical wine tasting where you sit down at a dinner while someone goes on and on about the wine you're drinking and how it works with the food you're eating. I enjoy those types of events but I find them to be a little tedious at times. What I'm hoping accomplish is to have events where there will be stations with food and wine with a knowledgeable person serving you a sample of both. You'll be free to walk around and mingle. If you have an ideas for the group or if you wish to help out organizing parties let me know. We're looking forward to meeting you all.

New York City Tennis
Welcome to New York City Tennis, the largest tennis Meetup group on Earth and the most active one in the greater New York City metropolitan area! We welcome everyone from advanced beginners to just plain advanced players — if you love the sport, you're in the right place, and whether you want to play sets, just hit around and have fun or work on your game, you'll find plenty of friendly people interested in exactly the same thing. So come join us to play tennis, make new friends, get some fresh air and exercise, and generally just have an awesome time! All you need to bring is your racquet and whatever you'd like to eat or drink other than fountain water; we provide fresh tennis balls, player matching and sometimes even a little coaching. Please do be aware, though, that whenever the courts are crowded, which is much of the time, we stick to playing doubles in order to make sure everyone gets as much court time as possible. There are opportunities for singles, though, generally either early in the morning or later in the afternoon, or in the summer, sometimes in the middle of the day. And occasionally, when we aren't able to get enough courts, we have to take turns rotating on and off. Usually, though, it's all tennis and all fun all the time! We'll also be including some non-tennis events throughout the year to give our tennis members a chance to mingle during bad weather and to meet other fun non-tennis players. We look forward to seeing you all, both on the courts and off!

First Time Upper West Side Moms
Meet other friendly First (and Second and even Third time!) Upper West Side moms to set up playdates, explore the neighborhood and have fun! Come to a Moms Meetup to share experiences, get advice and make new friends. All new moms are welcome and maternity wear is considered completely acceptable attire! We have meetups every week for different ages. For example, in January 2012, we had over 30 different meetups scheduled, from book clubs (kids welcome) to meetups at local libraries and Whole Foods. February has over 25 events scheduled so far, including a group trip to the Bronx zoo and a special meetup for Mandarin speaking moms. We also have volunteer opportunities for moms who want to give back. Locations for Meetups range from midtown to harlem (e.g., West 60s up to West 120s). Most events are during the week, but we do occasionally have weekend or evening events. Our email list serve is a great way to find out "new mom" or UWS information and to give away (or receive) the no longer needed baby gear taking up space in the apartment. Please note, dues are $10/year. Dues must be paid when joining. However, you have three months to decide if you want to stay a member. If you decide to leave the group within the first three months, your dues are 100% refundable (less postage if you mail in your dues) What our members say about our group: "As a rookie mom and recent Upper West Side transplant, this group has truly kept me sane. In a word, it's all about community: my daughter and I have found great friends, gone on fantastic playdates, gotten valuable insight into baby milestones. I've discovered local baby- and non-baby resources, from doctors to contractors and hair stylists, and baby gyms to sign language and music classes. I really don't know where I'd be without First Time Upper West Side Moms!" -Shira B "As a first time mother, I've loved meeting other mothers in the neighborhood who have babies of the same age so that we can figure out parenthood together! And getting tipsp and even hand-me-downs from the mothers of slightly older babies has been invaluable!" -Nina R. " The daily e-mail is great and a wonderful way to reach out and get information and support from other moms in the area." —Kerri C "Wonderful friendly group, very quick to welcome members and share knowledge!" -Danielle "Dear Upper West Side Moms: I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for all of the information, tips, suggestions, meetings, classes, playdates and resources. I moved to NYC a year ago, and I was a bit lost at first. But thanks to you, I found a GREAT pediatrician, a fabulous hair colorist, a great dentist (he's even really cute!), family friendly restaurants, and I learned how to move around this city with twins, which is no easy feat. This board has been my greatest ally over the past year, and I really want to thank all of the women who participated. You're a great bunch. You're great moms. Hope your holidays are magical." -Laura

Brooklyn Future Meetup Group +30 Years (Y30.IT)
The Y+30 is designed as an authentic forum for discussing what the world might look like in +30 years. We ask which trends and technologies are emerging today that will have formative effects on the not to distant future. One thing that many people find troubling is our society's inability to think and plan more than a handful years into the future. It is frequently argued that Capitalism, at best, can muster about 5 years of prospective planning and that the best of governments might be able to think on a 10 year horizon. This relatively short term perspective is fully insufficient as we move towards an ever faster, more interconnected, and more dynamic world. Therefore, the responsibility of examining such pressing questions is left to curious, intelligent, and dynamic people who will keep alive the discussion about the long-term implications of these emerging macro-trends. To this end, our Meetup will host a new topic long-term topic every month with a short presentation by a guest speaker followed by discussion and debate over libations.

There are a dozen New York 911 Truth Activist groups. The purpose of this meetup group is to unite us as one in our cause. We can be separate groups but share resources in a common goal, to expose the truth behind the events of 9/11/01 and the powerful entity behind the scenes known as the "nameless" New World Order. Our goal is to plant seeds of truth in our fellow man in the pursuit of life, liberty, and subsequent happiness unknown to many generations before us. We ask that any 911 Truth Activist with or without group affiliation post their meetup's here. We are working toward the day that there are hundreds, thousands of truth activist on the streets. We realize that throughout this process many groups will and have been started and divided. We see 911 Truth as a major focal point but are not limited in our quest for truth, liberty & justice. We tackle all sorts of issues, on the homefront and globally. We strive to better our local communities through charities and volunteer work. We strive for peace & justice economically, socially & politically. We strive to be the change we wish to see in this world. The NWO can take our heartbeat, but they can't break our soul.

This group is dedicated to advancing innovations that focus on improving patient care with the active involvement of Patients, Physicians, Nurses, Administrators, Engineers, and even Lawyers. If your interest is in improving the practice and performance of medicine, than this is the meetup for you. Borne of the Health 2.0 international movement, Eugene Borukovich started the NYC chapter in 2008. Our chapter has since grown to become the largest healthcare innovation focused meetup in the world, running events that focus on specific topics such as the impact of social media in Healthcare or our Startup pitch contest called "Pitch Yourself into the Shark Tank." The investments, partnerships and collaborations that have come from this meetup are myriad, as we purposely foster the genesis, growth and development of innovative technology companies. A few of the companies that have presented: Phreesia, Zweena, ZocDoc, HelloHealth, YourNurseIsOn, DrChrono, ComScore, HealthLeap, MyHealthExperience, Healthrageous, WellApps, and a few dozen others. Be like me, come with an idea, leave with a company. I run this group as my way of saying thanks for helping my concept get from the drawing board to over 250,000 searches for care and the attention of Patients, Physicians, Hospitals, Employers, and VCs across the country with our new healthcare marketplace. ...but this isn't about me, it is what over 1,250 healthcare innovators can do for healthcare. Who presents here? Patients who have defined issues to be addressed and / or designed apps to improve their health and the health of others Physicians who create innovative care models, develop solutios, or simply are looking for new ways to address the problems they see Entrepreneurs who create new innovative healthcare solutions Hospital Executives driving development and adoption of new ideas Nurses who reinvent nursing management or point of care solutions Investors, Angels, and VCs looking for the next big thing Pharma, Insurance, and Diagnostics companies that look for new technologies and companies to work with Pharmacists who design better medication management, adherence, distribution or other systems Game Designers who make patient education fun Quantification companies that help people self-monitor (see also Quantified Self meetup) Engineers, Programmers, and Hackers that invent and enable new care paradigms Designers who create popular apps Innovative government leaders seeking positive change Reporters and Bloggers who want to see the cutting edge before it happens and spread the word and so many more amazing people and companies... Mostly what we have are the leaders of the NYC healthcare innovation scene. By putting us all together in one place, we are creating the future of healthcare. We are always looking for start-ups and individuals to present the ideas or products they are working on. Please be welcome to join the conversation, propose a topic, or suggest an alternative format. We are a largely user-driven group, so suggest a topic and we will do the most popular event. We also enable more established companies to get their message out to the healthcare innovation community through sponsorship and speaking.

The NYC Dungeons & Dragons Meetup Group
Welcome to the NYC D&D Meetup Group! Dungeons and Dragons is the most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time. The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions. Scheduling games of D&D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game. There are three different ways people assemble to play D&D. We have the "open to all" meetups that are on the first Saturday of the month in Manhattan and the third Sunday of the month in Brooklyn. We have the RPGA Organized Play meetups which are every Tuesday night. We have "Campaign Gaming" where DMs run longer adventures that span several weeks. Please read this http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607 on the message board for more clarification. We schedule most of our games using the http://www.rpgconnect.org/ site, so it will be helpful if you Sign-Up there using the same display name as the one you used here.

Drawing the Light - Photography and Lighting workshops
Welcome to "Drawing the light" workshops. Dedicated to collectively learning and mastering the art of photography and lighting. Work together and with advanced photographers to learn natural lighting, hot lights and studio flash, as well as proper posing techniques for portraiture, figure study, headshots, etc.... At every monthly meetup, The first 5 photographers who bring a portfolio will get a basic portfolio review, and we'll be discussing composition and therory, and what makes a "good" or "great" image. There's a Q&A session for all your basic lighting and photography questions. We have different speakers come and discuss lighting, photography, self-promotion and the business end of photography. The speakers will be listed on the calendar page as they're confirmed. We'll also be doing gallery outings to see what's going on in the world of photography, and of course, setting up workshops based on what you want and need to know! The more I learn, the more I share! I think this comment says it all: "Will is funny and engaging and stops to answer all of your questions. The difference between this Scotsman's seminar and workshop and all others is that Will actually shows you the practical use of his expertise. And he boils down highly technical and difficult to learn subjects so that anyone can grasp them."

I, Rob, took took over as head organizer in May of 2010, although I'd been organizing hikes for the group for about 2 years prior. It was once hoped that this would be a group with many organizers, each of who would organize an event occassionally. It turns out that not many members stepped forward...I'm not sure why and presently our leadership team consists of just five of us. If you are interested in organizing an activity, let me know. Better, join me on a hike so I can get to know you and we can discuss your ideas face-to-face.
