Why we are moving?
You asked for more organic traffic, which meetup.com can enable.
We also want to provide you with more control and ease when creating and managing groups while gaining better organic reach for new participants.
Curating Country/ Region based groups rather than city-based.
Why? Insights from our recent mutual meetings: you prefer to keep hosting online & hybrid events, and your audience is variable and global. Meaning the group’s location is losing its meaning (at least for now).
In addition, country/ region groups will gain more members that will be able to attend more events based on topic, time of day, etc. More organizers will make it easier to engage members, and you won’t have to spend as much time bringing people in.
Each meetup organizer/team will have the option of hosting a virtual or in-person event, but it will also allow you to collaborate more naturally.

Subject line: Our [group name] meetup group is moving to meetup.com
Hey,
[add personal message]
Elementor meetup groups are moving to meetup.com’s Elementor Community Network.
As our community hosts virtual events, our newly formed group is named according to countries/regions (choose the right one) [new group name + hyperlink]. This will allow us to collaborate more with other Elementor leaders, and you will be able to attend multiple events and connect with fellow web creators nationally.
I invite you to join our new group [group name+ hyperlink]
Please note that starting January 1st, all Elementor Community meetups will be posted only on the Elementor Community Network on meetup.com
Happy new year!
[your name/s]
