**A quick update directly from cf\_maki.mukai for all those who want to start a meetup:** We are actually flushing out the details on criteria to be listed under the official branch. Meetup Pro changed their pricing whereby we are charged PER group, rather than as one account. So of course, this can get quite expensive quite quickly. For now, you can create your group separately and we are able to link the groups together later on. I would recommend creating the group name as Cardano Blockchain “_name of the City_” and you can use any of the content we have on ours to help define the Cardano project. And it’s always great to learn a little about the organizers if you wanted to add a bit about your motivations and goals for running this meetup. Another tip is that you can ‘tag’ Cardano in your meetup group description. This will make it easier for any Cardano supporters to find us and your group. If you can update your Meetup Group details to include ‘Cardano’ as a topic, your group will be more easily searched and it will help grow the Cardano tag on the meetup website: [https://www.meetup.com/topics/cardano/](https://www.meetup.com/topics/cardano/) Instructions on how to do this: From your Meetup group’s homepage, select the three dots and select Manage group Open the Topics section To add a topic, enter it into the field and select the appropriate topic from the suggestions or click Create this topic Full instructions here: [https://www.meetup.com/help/article/903789/](https://www.meetup.com/help/article/903789/) ---

How about Cardano India Event? We can do online meetup, since India has many cities with many engineers and It is hard to targate one city. Many Indians living abroad and supporting Cardano community like me. We can start online cardano community for India. Let me know your thoughts and Please comment if anybody want to join me. ---

If you’re offering up that kind of dedication and commitment, you might be interested in this: > [@The Evolution Movement (2.0)](https://forum.cardano.org/t/the-evolution-movement-2-0/18952): > > So I’ve started a movement called “The Evolution.” This is primarily a grass-roots, boots-on-the-ground movement that is being spread and organized via Meetup groups. At the core of the movement is a specifically formulated, very condensed and powerful guerrilla marketing tactic. Here is the tactic: We are tagging (marking a landmark with a symbol associated with a person or a movement. Think “Occupy Wall Street” meets Banksy) the world reserve currency with the ADA symbol.
