I don’t feel discussion is prominent enough to be the repository for meetup posts.
I suspect that LW readers who aren’t sufficiently interested to occasionally check the Discussion section are also overwhelmingly unlikely to spend an afternoon going to a LW meetup.

You suspect wrong; in my experience a good number of the people who come to meetups only follow the site casually.
