From a recent New York Times article on Likemind\:
a monthly kaffeeklatsch for creative professionals\, held in 55 cities around the world\, including Mumbai\, São Paulo\, Shanghai\, and Malmo\, Sweden.
Likemind gatherings have no formal structure\, no fees and typically no agenda. But participants exchange ideas\, job tips and useful contacts\, while also batting around ideas about technology\, art\, business and culture.
