Adelaide Meetup is a periodic gathering of Wikipedians and other Wikimedians from Adelaide and surrounding areas to discuss their experiences with the project and foster collegiality between local editors. It is organised by participants of WikiProject Adelaide. The inaugural meeting was held on 21 August 2006, and the list below provides a list of past events and a summary of their outcomes.

In 2014 a series of monthly meetings were held, with guest speakers invited to present their views on how Wikipedia articles on South Australian topics could be improved. One edit-a-thon was held, but due to low attendance, meetings since that time have been held at irregular intervals.

(For a list of future Adelaide Meetups, see Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Future meetings. This page includes a section: A "how to" guide for setting up a Meeting.)
