I noticed that each group has its own calendar. Since I hack Google Calendar, I was wondering how to get a Meetup calendar on Google Calendar, rather than manually adding events by hand. Here’s how…

  1. Login into Google Calendar

  2. On the left hand side, under My Calendars, click Add and a drop down menu should appear

  3. Click Add by URL

  4. In a new tab/window, go to a Meetup group

  5. Click on Calendar

  6. Scroll to the bottom of the page, until you see Subscribe

  7. Right click the iCal link and select Copy Link Location if you use Firefox (a similar option should be available for other browsers)

  8. Go back to the Google Calendar tab/window

  9. Paste the link in the Public Calendar Address field and click the Add button

  10. Click OK to return to your Google Calendar

If all goes well, the events from the Meetup group should appear on your calendar after a short while. It takes time for Google Calendar to load the remote calendar. This will work for any iCal address you find on the web.
