What Creator meets do you go to and why ?

Heya Creators !!

Do you attend Creator meet ups ?
Which ones do you attend ?
and Why ? what are the reasons for attending and what do you try to prepare for ?

I am in the UK and I travel a fair bit to attend Creator meet ups, most of them are in London which is like an hour away and with London being a big city, the meet ups are usually larger too.
I will also be attending one in Birmingham, couple hours drive away, at the end of this week, While in October I will be attending a gaming, nightlife event in Liverpool, approx 4 -5 hours away.

I attend because I like being sociable, but also because I have found the meet ups to be a great way to create connections, learn more from others and also to open opportunities for future work.

I dont prep, I have to be honest ! I am quite a sociable person and I am very good at acting on my feet, so I tend to just go and vibe out.

So what about you ? what are your thoughts on them ?
