Madeit Artisan Meetup – Host Interest Form

So you’re ready to gather creatives around a table, amazing! This is how we build something meaningful, one meetup at a time. You can view all the details below of what is provided for you.

Please fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch with everything you need to get started.

Questions? We’ve got answers!

Do I need to be a Madeit member to host a meetup?

Yes. While anyone can attend, only current Madeit members can host an official Artisan Meetup. Hosting is one of the many perks of being part of the Madeit community.

Not a member? Join now from $10/month.

What kind of venue do I need?

Keep it simple. A quiet corner in a local café, a community hall, a shared studio space—wherever makers can gather comfortably. No need for anything fancy.

How many people should I expect?

Most meetups start small. It could be you +1 to start with! On average we would imagine a regular monthly meetup may end up attracting 6-15 per month.

It's more about connection than crowd size.

Do I need to prepare a presentation or run a workshop?

Nope! You’ll follow our simple format: introductions, a share, a group conversation (with a prompt we provide), and a takeaway action. That’s it.

Do I have to follow the format?

Not at all, it's just there for you to use to keep the flow going. You are the host, you get to navigate what feels right.

We do want the images/videos in a particular format so we can streamline the sharing process.

Will Madeit help promote the event?

Yes. We’ll create custom graphics and share the meetup on our website, social media, and newsletter. You’re welcome to share it within your local networks too.

What support will I receive?

The format is super simple and is the same each month;

  1. Grab a cuppa - everyone simply orders what they feel like
  2. Everyone introduces themselves quickly (1min) and shares a challenge or a win
  3. Conversation prompts are added to the handmade conversation pot (you get to choose) and participants pick them out.

You’ll receive the monthly topic prompts and ongoing support from the Madeit team.

  • Conversation prompts provided

How often do I need to host?

Monthly is ideal—but we’re flexible. Some hosts may prefer bi-monthly to start. Just let us know what works for you.

Can I co-host with another maker?

Absolutely. In fact, it’s encouraged. It can make the experience easier and even more fun.

What if I try it once and decide it’s not for me?

That’s okay. We’re grateful for your time and energy, even if it’s just for one meetup. No pressure to continue if it doesn’t feel right.
