Meetup and Witlingo Partner to Launch an Amazon Alexa Skill

"Alexa, Ask Meetup, What's Happening Today?" Meetup customers can now ask Alexa about whats
happening around them by just speaking.

New York, NY, May 04, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Meetup, the leading tech platform for real life community,
today announced the public launch of the Meetup skill for Amazon Alexa that enables Meetup members
to ask Alexa for information about Meetup events and notifications.

We are thrilled to be delivering to our customers the ability to quickly access Meetup notifications by
just asking for them by voice, said Andrea Murphy, Community Engagement Manager. Customers with
Alexa devices can now easily stay on top of Meetup information that is directly relevant to them with
minimal effort so that they don't miss something important.

It's really cool that Meetup did this, said David Cuddihy, from Brooklyn, a regular user of Meetup and
an occasional organizer. I attend lots of Meetups and am always on the lookout for new events, and this
gives me a way to avoid missing information and events that are of interest to me.

To build the Alexa skill, Meetup partnered with Witlingo, a McLean, VA-based Voice Solutions
company that specializes in designing and deploying conversational far field voice interactions on
services such as Amazon Alexa.

Alexa is a great way for Meetup customers to stay informed and engaged, said Ahmed Bouzid, Founder
and CEO of Witlingo. Whether we are working, cooking, reading, or doing anything where we are
immersed, being able to quickly ask, at the speed of thought, for information and receiving it immediately
without breaking the immersed experience, is both a wonderful user experience and a way to enable us
humans to do things that otherwise we would have had to put off until later - and usually, what we put off
to later we end up not doing because we forget.

The Meetup skill for Alexa is available to anyone who is a Meetup member and has an Alexa device.
