Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026 - Call For Organizers

As the world prepares to welcome spring in 2026, the annual "Spring Meetups Everywhere" event is gaining momentum. This initiative, which has been held twice a year, aims to connect enthusiasts of ACX (Association of Community eXperts) across various cities worldwide. The event serves as an opportunity for people to engage in person, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among ACX members.

The concept behind Spring Meetups Everywhere is simple yet effective. The organizers recognize that while many individuals express interest in ACX, they often remain passive participants. To encourage active engagement, the event organizers periodically highlight the meetups on their blog, urging people to attend. This strategy has proven successful, as some attendees discover the joy of participating in ACX meetups and become regulars.

To ensure a smooth and inclusive event, organizers are now seeking volunteers to host meetups in their respective cities. The call for organizers is open to anyone willing to dedicate time and effort to facilitate these gatherings. The deadline for submissions is March 26th, and interested individuals are requested to fill out an organizer form.

The form requires several details, including the chosen location, time, and date for the meetup. Participants must also provide an email address for potential attendees to contact them with any questions or concerns. Additionally, the form includes a few short questions about the organizer's enthusiasm and qualifications for the role. These answers will help the organizers determine the most suitable candidate in cases where multiple applicants are interested in hosting a meetup in the same city.

Once selected, the organizer's meetup will be advertised on the ACX blog, ensuring visibility and attracting attendees. Organizers are encouraged to make the event more enjoyable by bringing amenities such as nametags, food, drinks, or games. Skyler, the Meetups Czar, has pledged to reimburse expenses for these items, though it is noted that reimbursements may take longer to process than in previous years.

The organizer form emphasizes that anyone capable of scheduling a meetup and attending it has the necessary skills to host. The form will gauge the applicants' excitement and qualifications, and multiple candidates in the same city will be evaluated to select the most suitable organizer.

In conclusion, Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026 presents an excellent opportunity for ACX enthusiasts to connect and build a stronger community. With the help of dedicated organizers, this event can continue to bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and shared passion for ACX. If you are eager to participate and make a difference, consider applying to host a meetup in your city. The time is now to take action and make the most of this exciting opportunity.
