When you create a group, it enters an approval process to ensure it meets our groups and events policies. If your group needs changes, we'll reach out with specific edits required so that it can be approved and officially announced to the community.
We typically send an email within 24 hours to confirm if your group has been approved, although the process can sometimes take a bit longer due to increased volumes. Thank you for your patience while we work to ensure new groups meet our Community standards and have the potential to thrive!
Keep in mind that, while you're waiting for approval, you can still customize your group and share it on social media.
I can't find my new Meetup group
If you can't find a group you recently created, it may be in review. Groups in the approval process are not searchable on Meetup until they're approved. You can still customize your group and share the group's URL during the approval process. When a group is approved, it will be searchable on the Find page, and you can confidently announce it to the community.
