And what happens when we have a regular weekly or monthly meetup in every English-speaking city of more than two million? I’ve noticed that the regular meetups (LW/NYC, LW/Bay Area, LW/London, et cetera) don’t bother to announce every meeting. New users have to know to look at the wiki page.
Maybe this proposed widget should include these regular meetups (with links to the relevant wiki page) for all events within the next three weeks.

Do geolocation or enter a postal code, and see only the ones nearby?
Edit—please disregard this post
I don’t trust geolocation.
Also, there’s an advantage in a new user seeing all the meetups, since it accurately tells them how active we are.
And what about people who travel a lot and might check out a meetup in another city if they were reminded about it?
Geolocation usually works. The cost of a miss is low.
If the user had defined their location in their user profile, we’d use that instead.
