I just met several EAs in person for the first time last night after following the community online for over a year. Here’s the process:
I was travelling and knew I’d be in the Chicago area for two weeks. Upon arrival I searched for Chicago EA groups on Facebook, found one and asked if there were any meetups happening. There weren’t, but people were interested and we set one up (Facebook event). 8-10 people showed and we had some good discussions. Pretty simple.
Takeaways:
(1) Create EA Facebook group for your area if there isn’t one already
(2) Join the EA Facebook group for your area
(3) Attend meetups when travelers or new people express interest in meeting up

Another takeaway: If there isn’t a meetup, you can request one and it will probably just happen.
