These days, it's very hard to find events in my area that aren't online. And the online events are usually prerecorded videos and marketing pitches. Even extremely popular topics (like web development) have basically zero IRL presence within a 50-mile radius.
I keep waiting for the community to rebound, but I'm not sure it ever will. I've started a group of my own, but it's also very slow to grow.
Have IRL meetups and communities in your area rebounded to 2019 levels yet?
