Nope, but I would love to go to one.
But I doubt that in my country, the meet ups happen or not. BTW I'm from India.
Don't think that meet ups happen here because in my friend circle, only one person knows about Bitcoin, so it's a long way to go.

BurtW will talk about his experience of being investigated and tracked for 18 months, indicted by a grand jury, arrested, charged with a Federal felony, and thrown into solitary confinement all over simply trading Bitcoins on localbitcoins.com.
He will also discuss the nine months of legal negotiations that led to the charges finally being dropped and the return of most of the property seized in the raid on his home and corporate offices.
We expect the talk to lead into an extensive question and answer session and the discussion of the subjects: Bitcoins, localbitcoins.com, law enforcement tactics, the law, licenses, civil asset forfeiture, the prison system, the justice system, homeland security, the patriot act, surveillance, etc. All of which happened to him personally.

If you don't live in bigger cities like London, Paris, New York, these meet-ups are waste of time in my opinion. You can't have big and quality speakers, so this means nobody will come from the audience.
I have never been in one such event. There are none close to where I live. And I would only wanna go to the major ones anyways.

I don't disagree, but they aren't a complete waste of time. Linking up with other Bitcoiners in your area is good for local trading among other things.
It is not so easy, BTC users are from all the world, how can they meet ? Mostly from USA, by the way 
You can organize a meetup on meetup.com. But the difficult part is to find a location to host the actually meetup, you may need some money to buy food and drinks and other important stuff for a meetup.

I've been to a couple of meet ups here in Melbourne. Didn't really talk about anything though because both were for bitcoin documentary launches. I had a good time.

Agreed.

Have you guys ever attended any bitcoin meetup? What do you usually discuss about?
No, I haven't and will not. 
Never been to an actual meetup but I've been in a skype conference call about bitcoin for many times now. As of this moment, we're planning to hold one on the 15th of September, but I'm not sure whether it will take place or not because some of the prominent members of our group do have some affairs at that time.
yes, i have attended meetup.
discusion About bitcoin how to earn bitcoin and how to use bitcoin some thing like this.

Yes. I recently helped organize our first meetup in my city in southern Spain. Since it was only our first meetup we mostly introduced ourselves and got to know everyone's journey into Bitcoin (and crypto in general). The group was small, but very diverse - just like the Bitcoin community.
