Hello, and thanks for your interest in organizing a meetup. For Hackathon-specific events - only the ones with a technical focus will be eligible for funding via the Rapid Grants and for getting listed and promoted as a satellite event. Your idea seems great and you could still still explore Rapid Grants for organizing your event outside of the Hackathon: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid> [1].
