❗️The procedure below permanently closes your groups from Meetup. If you're looking to delete and erase all of your data from Meetup instead, please refer to the dedicated article Organizer account deletion requests. |
Closing a group will remove all traces of it from Meetup. Members will no longer be able to access photos, discussions, or the list of members. We recommend stepping down instead.
If you step down, your community can continue to flourish! You can either nominate a new organizer from your group or let us invite members of your community to step up and keep the group going.
We understand that everyone’s situation is unique. For this reason, we’re currently running a test to better target a new feature on how to close groups autonomously for Starter and Standard organizers.
👉 If you are a Pro organizer and you want to cancel your groups, you can reach out to our Customer Support.
👉 If you are a Starter or Standard organizer instead, you can follow these steps to close your group:
- Start by letting your members know you intend to close the group, so everyone has time to save any photos or reach out to other members.
- Open the group you’d like to close in your Meetup account.
- Click on Manage Group.
- Tap on Transfer group ownership.
- Choose whether to transfer the group to another member who could step up as new organizer or click on Do you want to close your group instead?.
- Follow the further cancelation questions and steps.
- At the end of the whole process, click on Close group permanently.
- As soon as the flow has ended, you’ll see a green banner confirming the cancelation of your group.
❗️❗️If you do not wish to lead any Meetup groups and would like to stop your experience as organizer, you will also need to manually cancel your subscription to ensure you are no longer charged. To do that, follow the steps listed in the article Canceling a recurring subscription.
