How JoinMeIn helps you find local meetups and meet new people in person

You're using an app to find things to do tonight, but you end up closing it having scrolled through event listings that are three weeks old. If this sounds familiar, then you know the pain of having to use a local meetup site that's not made for the kinds of plans that people actually want to make.

This is why we built JoinMeIn. It's an entirely different kind of local meetup application that puts a focus on immediacy, local plans, and getting you out to meet people in person.

The problem with other local meetup sites

Other websites and mobile apps for finding local meetups are often like bulletin boards. Someone advertises an event, it remains up for a certain amount of time, and then eventually gets taken down. This works for certain kinds of events, but if someone is looking for something to do tonight, a large amount of what's available on local meetup sites may no longer be valid or may have fallen through completely.

Forums and listing sites can work well for big events, but they're not ideal for someone looking to find things to do in real-time. That's why JoinMeIn was built; we wanted to create a platform that's better for finding local meetups that are relevant to what you're looking for right now.

Finding local meetups near you is easier than ever

Looking for local meetups near me always seems to be an exercise in patience. If you've ever looked for meetups using other services, chances are you've encountered event listings that are no longer viable, or group chats that were difficult to get off the ground.

With JoinMeIn, searching for meetups near you is an entirely different experience. Instead of sifting through events and groups that may not be a good fit, you can look through meetups and local plans happening near you right now. On the app you can see all the cool stuff happening in your area, and who is hosting them. Then you can R.S.V.P to the ones you want to go to, or read more if you're curious. This means no wasted time trying to meet up with friends that never show up, or going to events that didn't really get advertised. All of this info is readily available on your phone.

Hosting your own local meetup is simple

If you're looking to host a local meetup, JoinMeIn makes it extremely simple to post your own meetup, set a location and time, and share it with other people in your area. What would have been an idea that only you had can turn into a full-fledged local meetup with people you've never met, all because you posted it on JoinMeIn.

That's another way that JoinMeIn differs from other social meetup sites: everything on JoinMeIn is designed with immediacy in mind. Everyone who uses JoinMeIn is posting their meetups and local plans in real-time, so people can find you faster. You can find other people who are local to you and turn what would have been an idea into a full-fledged meetup in one sitting.

Getting you to meet people in person

The whole point of JoinMeIn is to help you meet people in person. This is why we put together features that let you see who's out and about in your area using our live radar and what local things to do are happening tonight. Everything is designed to help people actually meet each other in person, rather than spend hours upon hours trying to set up a meeting time.

Instead of spending hours browsing local meetup sites, and even more hours trying to figure out how to meet someone after you find them, JoinMeIn is designed to reduce the distance between wanting to meet someone and actually being able to do so. You can go from browsing to being at a local meetup all in one day.

A radius you can set yourself

Another feature that distinguishes JoinMeIn from other local meetup sites is its unique radius function. On JoinMeIn, you can set both the distance (up to 50km) and the amount of time a meetup must be in order to show up in your feed. With a radius that far and a time frame of 15, 30, or 60 minutes, you can find local meetups that are ideal for you. This makes for a different kind of social experience, one where people can meet others in real-time, rather than browse meetups that will be happening in another part of the city or even another part of town.

The value of real-time meetups

Someone may have an exciting idea for a meetup that's perfect for what they're looking for, but if that meetup ends up falling through, then both sides end up out of luck. This is why we chose to build JoinMeIn as a real-time, live meetup instead of a traditional listing or forum. Local meetup sites in which events are posted well in advance of the meetup simply can't keep up with the everyday changes that occur in our lives.

A meetup site that's built for immediacy, like JoinMeIn, is much better at adapting to these everyday changes. Instead of seeing something that's scheduled to happen long from now, you can see what's happening tomorrow, or even this afternoon. This is how people do things in real life, and it's how JoinMeIn was built to operate, too. This way, everyone can find meetups that are ideal for their needs.

From browsing to belonging

Finding local meetups shouldn't be hard, and neither should meeting people in person. With JoinMeIn, we took away as much friction as we could from this process. Instead of spending hours upon hours browsing a local meetup site, you can get out there and look for meetups near you. You can even host your own meetup and see who else is local to you using our live radar.

Finding meetups has to be one of the most frustrating parts about getting out there and meeting new people. We built JoinMeIn to change that, and we think it's an experience that anyone will enjoy. Try out JoinMeIn and start meeting new people in a whole new way!
