Our Medellín Living Meetups

In response to popular demand, Medellín Living restarted its meetups in January of 2017 after a two-year hiatus. The new meetups have been a huge success, growing steadily from one month to the next. We had over 80 attendees at the April meetup in El Poblado at Delaire Sky Lounge.  And we are expecting another big turnout this month in Laureles.

Our plan is to rotate our meetups each month between El Pobaldo, Envigado, Sabaneta and Laureles, which are the four most popular neighborhoods for expats living in Medellín.

The idea is to encourage expats to experience different parts of the city. Our June meetup is tentatively planned for Envigado and for July we are planning in Sabaneta. Details will be posted on this site around around three weeks before the planned meetups.

Note: there isn’t any extra fee required to attend Medellín Living meetups and no membership is required.

We now have two new ways for our readers to keep up with Medellín Living events. You can follow us on our new Medellin Living Events & Activities Facebook group or via our new Medellin Living group on Meetup.com.
