I've found events at the Wix Lounge SF to be fairly useful, and have made some good connections with Wix staff and with other Wix users. The space itself is large, good for meetings with lots of tables and chairs, enough electrical outlets if your battery needs some juice, and a good projector and screen. They always have some interesting foodie business (one with a Wix site, of course) giving out treats. Presenters need to pitch to an audience that ranges widely in experience and tech knowledge, and they don't always quite hit the mark, which admittedly is a tough task, but you can always ask questions if you're lost, or help someone else if the material seems too basic for you. Worth attending if the topic is of interest -- particularly if the presenter is from a resource you use (e.g., YouTube), because you can pick up some good "insider tips."
