Jessica Millstone, the co-organizer of the NYEdTech Meetup, knows a thing or two about how to build community.

With over 9,000 members, the NYEdTech Meetup is the country's largest meetup of educators, entrepreneurs, and investors.

So, a few questions Jessica addresses in this clip from our conversation on The EdTech Startup Show:

How does she do it?

What special event is she hosting with another prestigious education organization on February 11 in NYC?

What kind of cheese do they serve at the meetups? (She doesn't answer this but I'm wondering, too)

And how can you apply lessons she's learned from building a thriving professional organization to your work?

Hint: it has to do with empowering people.
