fan meetups

Enthusiast social events

Fan meetups are organized gatherings where enthusiasts of a particular celebrity, band, sports team, or media franchise meet in person.

These range from informal coffee shop hangouts to ticketed events where fans might meet the object of their fandom: The K-pop group announced fan meetups in three cities.

The term emphasizes the social element—fans connecting with each other, not just consuming content alone.
