Advertising helps us to ensure that Meetup can continue to provide the best possible experience for our users, without increasing the organizers' fee.
You may see unobtrusive ads in email newsletters and other areas of our platform. We plan to work with advertisers that make sense for our community and yours.
If you'd like to remove advertisements from your Meetup experience, try upgrading to Member+ or setting up an organizer subscription.
If you're experiencing a pop-up that invites you to upgrade to Meetup+ whenever you try to access some features (such as the full list of members of a group or DMs to other members on the platform), this is likely due to a recent upgrade of some features which are now exclusive for Meetup+ users.
You can read more about which features were impacted in our article Update & FAQ: Advanced features moving to Meetup+ (October 2024). If you try and access these features without an active Meetup+ or Organizer subscription (Standard or Pro), a pop-up will inform you that an upgrade to Meetup+ is necessary to get full visibility. To get out of the pop-up and revert to the free, limited experience, just click the Continue with free plan link at the top of the Meetup+ pop-up.
If you believe an advertisement has violated our Terms of Service, you may report an ad.
