is there a meetup/event chanel ?

There should be! Try #C29J4L6B1 maybe. I know there are meetup groups in most major cities.

How would i find the meetups or groups?

I just googled My Town NetSuite User Group and it came right up in the first result. Replace "My Town" with your town

Here’s a list I made: https://collectivemindtechnologies.com/blog/comprehensive-netsuite-user-group-guide/

I think it used to be the case (not sure if this is still true) that if you were an official NetSuite Partner you could like sign up for creating/sponsoring an official user group in particular region with NetSuite and they would kick in some resources or guest speakers or something, but might've been some strings attached 🤷‍♂️. Also there's the official NetSuite events: https://www.netsuite.com/portal/company/events.shtml. Most of them are pretty sales-oriented (shocking, I know), but I think the learning labs are pretty decent (although perhaps generally targeted more towards entry level users) but usually have pretty good food. 😁
