At betahouse supporting the community is part of our primary mission, so we host user group meetings and similar events on a regular basis (about once a week). This is one of the major channels by which new members find us, so the benefits for us are strong.
Unfortunately the capacity in our largest room is below 40 so many of the groups we'd like to host are just too big to fit comfortably.
