Why do you limit Meetabit to specific locations? Give us a free form search area and let me start a group anywhere :D
We soft launched it in a few cities only and it was easier to implement that way. I've added Tokyo for you now though. If there are any others you'd like me to add, post them in a comment here please.

"I've added Tokyo"
But for Tokyo, these are the results:
> Events
> No events in your city
> Communities
> No communities in your city
> Sponsors
> No sponsors in your city
Or do you mean that now we can create events, communities and sponsors?
That's right, you can now start adding them.

BTW, as a non-english native having "sign in" and "sign up" is a bit confusing. It took me a couple of seconds of thinking to know which one to click.
I do front-end, and didn't realize of this until now that I was on the receiving end.
Good point, didn't think about this myself either. Will take this into account when we update that part of the flow next.
Pls add Belgrade, Serbia

Could you also add Mumbai?
Added
possible to change the name? it's a bit mealymouthed
- have one company as the sponsor, providing venue, food and one technical talk - this ensures that the organizers don't need to deal with money which is a big admin headache - have around 3 talks total, but keep them short, to around 20 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A - start the event 15-30 mins late to allow for people to show up late and giving those that turned up early the chance to talk to each other - make sure you end quite early, leaving time for people to mingle afterwards
We also built our own Meetup.com alternative called Meetabit (https://meetabit.com, see my other comment to this post) and to promote it wrote a few blog posts which go into more detail, which you can find here: https://blog.toughbyte.com/tagged/meetup
