Main Street Meet-Up was born at a Patch.com leadership conference held in Atlanta, Ga., in January where more than 180 company leaders representing 864 community websites came together to form a vision for 2012 and beyond.

Main Street Meet-Up was one of 11 proposals chosen from more than 30 to be presented to the company's leaders, who see the success of small businesses nationwide as being integral to Patch's future and our mission of being a community information platform.
