Women’s Food, Fun and Friends

Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Let’s get together on the 2nd Saturday of each month for food, fun, and fabulous friendship. Let’s encourage one another as women by sharing a good meal and good conversations together. If you're new to the Akron area, want to make new friends, or just need a Girls' Night Out, FF&F may be just what you're looking for. The organizer pays an annual fee to Meetup.com for the use of its website to organize and maintain the club's events and membership. **However, instead of paying your dues once- or twice-a-year, you agree to pay $2.00 at each dinner you attend.... but you do *not* have to pay for any dinners which you do *not* attend.** This is the BEST Meetup club in Akron, so come and join us. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Akron/Canton Geeks & Nerds

Green, OH

\*\*\*\*\*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\*\*\*\* Hello all, Here's some information about the group from Vanessa and me. Starting now, since it's the beginning of this month, we will expect cancelations to be done in a more timely manner. This obviously depends on the type of event this is. If it is a Special type event, we need you to cancel at least 12 hours prior to the event. If it is an event that is more casual, you need to cancel 2 hours before the event. We definitely understand life happens and there may be times where you are unable to come, even if it's last minute. However, we have been receiving a lot of cancelations due to trivial reasons (didn't feel like, etc.). Most importantly, if you don't plan on going and know it, please have the courtesy to cancel rather than no show. It's disrespectful to the event hosts. The reason for all of this is due to several past events where the hosts took time to plan the event and contact the location to expect a large group. A recent event saw 6 out of 21 people attend, with 13 cancelations and 2 no shows. This makes our hosts look bad and unreliable and negatively impacts the place that may call in extra staff, etc. And it discourages hosts from planning fun things to do. We want this group to be successful and a place to meet new friends. If you cancel a special event after the time limit, you will be given a strike. If you do this 3 times, you will be removed from the group and you can rejoin again in 3 months. No showing ANY event is a strike. Again. 3 strikes and you're out. You can rejoin in 3 months. If there are concerns and questions, please message either myself or Vanessa. Hope to see you all at future events! We do enjoy hosting and meeting our group members. \- Ruth and Vanessa If you like science AND/OR science fiction - this is the group for you! Calling all geeks and nerds in the Canton/Akron area... we're looking for you to participate in fun adventures of the geeky and nerdy variety. Everything ranging from star-gazing parties, boardgames, trivia nights, conventions, scavenger hunts, museums, movie watching, coffee and conversation, dinners out, and more!" You must have a recent profile picture of yourself so we can easily identify at events.

Newly divorced/widowed? This group is for all the women that, for whatever reason, need to make some new friends. I am constantly wishing I had someone to go to coffee with, go to the movies, etc. There is an app called Wolf Pack for men to make friends. Couldn't find one for women. I decided to start this group because I was lonely one day and could not find anyone to meet for shopping. lunch, whatever. I am hoping that this group will fill the need for us to have someone to "hang out" with. This is for women in the Akron/Canton area, but if you are willing to travel, you are welcome. The more, the merrier!

Akron Area Conversational Spanish Meetup Group

Akron, OH

This group will be dedicated to learning and keeping the fluency of our Spanish. I learned Spanish in my early 20's and am now fluent. It took me years of immersion and tons of studying to accomplish that goal and upon moving back to Ohio, I am starting to lose it a bit. I want to meet new speakers and make some lasting connections in the process.

Akron Business Network

Akron, OH

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others." - African Proverb

Calling all Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and those who dream of running their own venture!

If you desire to expand your business network, make more friends, find new customers and become a leader in your community, we have a fun and informal social networking group that is just right for you.

We'll have monthly meetings at coffee shops or neighbourhood bars in and around town to connect with others & learn "best practice" sales, marketing, finance and time management tactics and strategies from your city’s top entrepreneurs.

MOST EVENTS ARE FREE AND ALL BUSINESS OWNERS & MANAGERS ARE WELCOME

• No attendance commitment required. • You can arrive and leave on your schedule. • No elevator pitches in front of the group required. • Informal bar/restaurant meetings in the evenings. • Most meetups are between Tuesdays & Thursdays. • No long sit down meals next to strangers.

Our mission is to encourage business success by recruiting small business owners to give group talks to their peers, potential customers and suppliers and new entrepreneurs to share their expertise and offer words of support and encouragement to their community.

 

We are also known as a "Pay it Forward" group. You might find your ideal client/customer here in your first meetup but it's more likely you will meet someone who can benefit from goods & services offered by your friends.

By networking to help other business owners and recommending products or services by other members, the benefits of increased sales accumulate to everyone in the group.
