Starting a tech meetup is easy. Keeping it alive month after month is the challenge.
In this talk, we’ll share the lessons from running Leeds Mobile, a monthly mobile-focused meetup that’s hosted 20+ events, partnered with global tech companies, and brought hundreds of people together.

You’ll learn how to:
• Secure speakers, venues and sponsors without burning out
• Find repeatable rhythms that keep attendees coming back
• Create an inclusive, engaging community experience
• Record and share content on YouTube with minimal budget

We’ll also be honest about mistakes we made and what we’d do differently if we were starting again. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and confidence to start, grow, or improve any tech community, no matter the size or location.
