FAQ (updated as people ask questions):
Q: What food and drinks will there be?
A: At this point, it's looking like pizza and whatever cheap cans of soft drink are on sale in Nov.
Q: Is there a bar?
A: Yes, please let us know what your drink of choice is and they will stock it.
Q: Why is the meetup not free?
A: According to the Internet which is always right, if you don't charge for an event ~50% of attendees will not show/cancel. If a small fee is involved, this number drops to 20-30%. The Brisbane event was free and there were a lot of cancellations/no shows. Not only does this screw everything up with organizing the venue but also makes it difficult to cater for food.
Q: Can family/partners/friends attend?
A: At this point, OzBargainers have the #1 priority. You just need an OzBargain account (hint, hint). In a few days, room provided, we will open it up to family, friends.
Q: Do I have to be identified or can I attend anonymously?
A: I will be creating nametags with First Names & Usernames. You can choose whether to wear them or feel free to make edits. No interaction is required other than conversating with the venue's door person (venue employee).
Q: Will there be meetups in other cities?
A: Next meetup will be Sydney. We are currently looking for a suitable venue. If you want a meetup in your city, please organize it and we may be able to help out financially.
Q: Where can I park?
A: There are a number of 6 hour parking spots outside the venue as well as a free parking lot across the street.
Q: I signed up to OzBargain Meetups but my account hasn't been approved yet. Why?
A: This is a meetup for existing OzBargain members. Those who just signed up to participate in the meetup will be approved at a later date once existing OzBargain members have had a chance to signup.
Q: Can I pay at the door?
A: No, this is a cash-free event. You can pay via paypal or make a deposit into the OzBargain bank account.
