The past several years have spawned a range of online social networking websites, communities and resources to help people connect with one another. Eventually, when two or more people or groups decide to move forward with an idea they meet up in the offline world and further their discussion.
What are some of the offline forums, meetings, thinktanks, groups (excluding meetup.com, craigslist-type groups) which exist in the San Francisco area which allow professionals, and business people to openly network and discuss topics of interest?
Thank you in advance for your input.
