How To Find Personal Growth Workshops, Seminars, and Networking Events In Your Area. 

Finding personal growth events in your area can be tricky at first, even though there are often workshops, seminars, and meetups happening almost every week. Many personal development events aren’t well-advertised or don’t show up in Google searches, leaving you missing out on key opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and opportunities for growth.

As someone who regularly attends personal growth events, I've developed a knack for finding workshops, seminars, and meetups that are often hidden from plain sight. In this blog, I will show you the tricks I learned to find events in your area, so that you may begin your journey of getting connected with people who want to grow just like you.

Eventbrite

The first and most obvious way is using the app Eventbrite. Eventbrite is a widely used platform that helps users promote and sell tickets for a variety of events. When using this app to search for personal growth events, it will be much more helpful to first set your filters then make a list of keywords related to your interest. Such examples would be:

• personal growth
• motivation
• mastery 
• leadership 
• empowerment

By using keywords like these, you will most likely find a list of workshops, seminars, and events of multiple sizes. The good thing is that you can save events that you might be interested in by liking them so that you can go back and look at them later to make a decision about which event you ultimately choose to attend.

Meetup.com

Meetup is slightly different from Eventbrite in that it is more intended for socializing and creating regular groups. Meaning you join groups that foster long term engagement while Eventbrite typically focuses on a one-time thing. The strategy for finding personal growth events on Meetup is the same as on Eventbrite; you enter keywords related to your industry. Except you can’t like groups, but you can choose groups you want to become a member of so that you can go back and look at them later. It's not necessary to attend them once you join, and you will still be able to receive updates, and notifications for that group’s upcoming events.

Instagram

Instagram is also a good place for finding events in your area if you know how to use it. The way you do it is making a burner account (a separate account used for a specific purpose) and follow only organizations that regularly host events. Some accounts for example are Ted, Chicago ideas, Leadership Summit, or Toastmasters. You can also try following local libraries, and event organizers in your area. Like and interact with as many event post as you can, or add notifications for your favorite accounts, and this will make it more likely that you will receive ads for upcoming events in your area.

Learn To Network

When you do happen to find an event or meetup to attend. You will also benefit by being able to build new connections. Many of the people you will meet at these events are often involved with other groups or organizations, and if you make friends with them - especially by exchanging social media accounts, you will be able to see posts for upcoming events that they will be a part of or are planning on going to.

Conclusion

Finding personal growth workshops, seminars, and networking events in your area can feel like a daunting task at first, but with the right strategies, you can uncover a wealth of opportunities for personal development. Using platforms like Eventbrite, Meetup, and Instagram, and tapping into the power of networking, will help you connect with like-minded individuals and grow both personally and professionally. By becoming more involved in these communities, you’ll not only find more events, but you'll also build a supportive network of people who can guide and inspire you on your journey toward personal growth.
