FAQs Do I need to be an alliance member? You do not have to be an alliance member to attend. You are able to pay the drop in guest fee to as many Meetups as you would like. However, in addition to the other benefits of alliance, members are able to skip the longer lines! Plus- any Meetup is free to attend! VIP STATUS, as a thank you for being a valued member. Is it ok to arrive late? Yes! We understand that all MOBs are balancing a ton! Feel free to drop in during whatever stage of the evening you are able to attend. No judgments. There is value in every portion of the event! Are Meetups kid friendly? We understand child care can be an issue. Unless it is listed in the event description, you are welcome to bring your children to events. However, we ask that you bring snacks and entertainment for them. This is still a professional meeting, and ask that all guests be respectful of the guests and each other. Need help? Reach out to a chapter leader at the event! We are here for you. May I pay cash at the door? Cash is not accepted. Only cards, business write off 😉 What can I bring into the event? Bring a smile and business cards!
