Automatically import events from Meetup.com into The Events Calendar.
To get started, make sure that you have The Events Calendar plugin (by Modern Tribe) installed. This plugin will not do anything without it!
This plugin relies on WP Cron to run the import on a schedule, so it will not work if you have disabled WP Cron (sometimes this is done in wp-config.php).
After you have both plugins installed, you need to configure a couple of settings. First navigate to Events -> Import in your Dashboard. From there you can input your <a href="https://secure.meetup.com/meetup_api/key/" rel="nofollow ugc">Meetup.com API Key</a> and choose the post status that should be used for imports.
Next, click on the “Meetup.com” tab. From there you can fill in the URL for a Meetup group, select the Event Categories you want it to be mapped to, and hit “Add Recurring Import”. This will schedule a script to run twice a day to import the upcoming events from that group into The Events Calendar. You can add as many groups as you’d like.
This is an early release of this plugin, so it’s a little barebones. Help make it better by contributing yourself – see below!

Import Meetup Events – Meetup Sync & Event Aggregator for WordPress


The free version is fairly limited, and I've had some problems in the past resulting in incorrect times or duplicated entries. Still it seems to be the only plugin that does this task, and it does seem to be working correctly now, at least for Event Manager.
