You should consider charging for the monthly meetups and making them more focused. My business partner attended the last one and mentioned that some attendees simply stumbled upon the event on Eventbrite and came for socializing. It's tough to derive real value from such events when that's the case.
Thanks for the suggestion. This month's venue will also make it easier for people to walk around and mingle, so that you're not just stuck chatting with the people sitting next to you. I would say that ~50% of attendees at the last meetup were active industry participants (builders, designers, consultants). We'll try bump that number up.
