On a semi-regular basis, I share events in the Albuquerque area-ish with our participants at 1 Million Cups Albuquerque. Sometimes that’s just a few events and sometimes that’s a list, and that’s most Wednesdays for the past four years (!?).
But… The world is more flat at this moment, so while there’s still some connection to our place and the people we know, pretty much anyone can attend our events ‘here,’ just like we can attend events where ever we like. In any case, here’s a local-ish list of events for the Albuquerque area:
