So Long, Meetup!

We are streamlining how we handle class registration at MAKE Roanoke. 

Quick Summary:

• All classes and maker minis will be registered directly on our website

• No account needed!

• Pay securely up front to secure your spot

• We’re still listing classes on Meetup for advertising purposes, but all registration is on our website.

Starting with events on/after September 4, 2026, all MAKE Roanoke classes and Maker Minis will no longer be registered via Meetup. Instead, all class registrations will be done on our website. You won’t need any account, including Meetup!

You may notice that we’re still posting the classes on Meetup, and that is to help us get the word out about this switch. Meetup is no longer managing our class registrations, so even though the meetup event shows “sold out”, it might still have tickets available for purchase. 

To register for a class, you can do so directly on that class’s event page. Payment is taken up front, and we use Stripe as our credit card processor. MAKE Roanoke never sees your card information. Members can simply choose the Member Rate Ticket to get their member discount. 

When you purchase a class ticket, you’ll get an email with a QR Code ticket. If you lose this email, don’t worry, we can check you in using just your name. 

We are no longer able to offer a wait list, and recommend checking back for openings closer to the class date. Whenever a seat becomes available, we will post it on our #classes Discord channel and tag @class-collector (you can claim this role for yourself in #Channels & Roles!)

Below is a synopsis of our class refund policy:

• Refunds: 48 hours notice required (auto-refunds if we cancel or reschedule)

• Transfers: Tickets are transferable to anyone meeting eligibility criteria

• How to Request: Get a refund by contacting @board on Discord or emailing board@makeroanoke.org
