What Makes a Great Tweetup?

,

We’re looking to host a tweetup sometime later this summer, and we want to get your feedback about what you look for in a great tweetup. What makes you WANT to attend? What makes a tweetup fun for YOU? Answer the poll, and if you have any other thoughts or ideas, drop them in the comments, or contact us. We want to host the best tweetup of the year!
