How I started Meetup: Convo with Scott Heiferman, founder Meetup

​What does it actually take to build something that takes off?

​Join Scott Heiferman, co-founder and former CEO of Meetup, in a moderated discussion focused on building products that create real energy, lasting community, and momentum.

​We’ll explore:

• ​How Meetup grew from an idea into a global household name

• ​Why energy, fun, and urgency matter more than reducing friction

• ​Lessons from leading a company for 16 years through massive cultural and generational shifts

• ​The reality of loneliness at the top, and how leaders find (or fail to find) support

​The conversation will be moderated by Michael Sippey (former CPO of Medium, VP Product at Twitter) and followed by live audience Q&A. 

​Who should attend:
Product, engineering, and technology leaders; founders and founder-curious operators; anyone interested in building products, teams, and communities that endure.
