I always found it difficult to get people to meet up. What you normally do? I try to apply what I learn from Toastmasters to counter my challenge.
1. Know your audience.
What the people that you going to meet up like? What's thier favourite way of meeting up? Are they quiet people? Do they like to surf the net the whole day? Do they like to meet up face to face?
2. Know your meeting place.
Where they prefer to meet up? Near a place where no need to pay for parking? Fast Food restaurant where you can get a quick bite immediately? Or just the local mamak stall?
3. Don't ever give them a choice. You decide the topic!
Hey! When you are giving a speech, do you ask for the audience what you wanna talk about? You don't do that lah! So you are the one who is going to make choices for them! Influence them with your skills!

Meeting time is very important too. Choose the inappropriate time and you lose them before you even begin to start.
No.3 also seem to be too harsh... imho the audience should have some leeway in the matter being discussed
