meetup group

Scheduled social circle

A meetup group is an organized gathering of people who share a common interest, typically arranged through online platforms.

Members meet regularly to pursue hobbies, professional networking, or social activities: I joined a meetup group for hikers, There's a Python meetup group that meets every Thursday.

The term gained currency with the website Meetup.com but now describes any interest-based social gathering organized informally.
