What is a TweetUp?

A TweetUp is:

• A gathering of people who use Twitter
• It can be a general geographic Tweetup like a Tweetup of people in northern Michigan
• Or it can be a Tweetup for a cause where Twitter friends organize a get-together to do something for the community
• It can also be topical such as a Tweetup for an event, for pet lovers, cooking enthusiasts, or just for people who are in the social media scene
• It’s about the fact that when we get offline and meet in person it cements relationships and builds community
• An event that usually lasts from 1 to 3 hours
• It is a great stewardship and community building tool

A TweetUp is not:

• An event where you pull people in from Twitter to pitch or sell them something
• A seminar event
• A tradeshow or multi-day event
• A general community event like a sports event, lecture etc.

It’s called a TweetUp because it’s people on Twitter connecting in real life!
