meet-up
Scheduled group gathering
A meet-up is an informal gathering of people who share a common interest, often organized through social media or websites designed for that purpose.
The term emerged alongside online platforms that help strangers connect around hobbies, professional interests, or social causes.
There's a meet-up for local bird watchers this Saturday.
Unlike formal meetings, meet-ups tend to be casual and open to newcomers.
