What we’re about
We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta...
...and we invite you to join us! Everyone is always welcome.
Jakarta Friends is the community to meet new people while doing unique activities in Jakarta. We play board games, talk business, socialize, eat and drink together, do language exchanges, explore the city by walking and culinary tours, and much more! It's all about authentic connections in an uncomplicated and informal setting.
You can see past events here: https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/?type=past
Together, we are creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. This group is a convergence of people and cultures.
Over the past 1,5 year, we have had more than 150 events with over 1,500 attendees. Everyone should always feel welcome to join disregarding from their ethnicity, nationality, religion, creed, age, language skills, gender identification, sexual orientation, background, ability, income, social status, or any other arbitrary trait.
From September 2024, we have a yearly membership fee to join our events. The membership fee is not expensive and gives access to all events + exclusive perks! There's so much more value to members than having an event fee. We guarantee keep organising plenty of events and the fee is refundable if the group closes down or if there are no events for more than three months. You can attend the first event for free and take a look!
- Join the WhatsApp community for announcements: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BR0sC0BrPbc9xTqvj1qLfx
- People who have attended one event in person can request to join the Community Chat on WhatsApp. This is a safe space free of spam, harassement, and unwelcome online behaviours!
- Follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/jakarta.friends.creatives/
If you are interested in creativity, feel free to join the group Jakarta Creatives: https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/ With Jakarta Creatives we organise events for singing, writing, reading, swapping books, photography, cinemagoing, and much more!
We look forward to meet you at a next event!

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS COMMUNITY: This group is welcome to everyone who genuinely wants to connect. I will not tolerate the following behaviours:
- marketing promotions without checking with the admin first (including aggressive marketing strategies, pet trading, self-centered offers, non-relevant posts)
- negativity and blaming (including spreading false information, not helping each other, critizicing without offering a honest feedback or alternative solutions)
- harrassement, discrimination, intolerance, disrespectful behaviour
- it's important that people respect RSVP at event, and are respectful of everyone's time and efforts in organising events
