While local APL user groups often hold meetups, the APL community sometimes organizes conferences which draw attendance from a wider region. Until about 2005 the [[APL conference]] was the main yearly gathering, but other large conferences were held irregularly by vendors.
The [[:Template:APL community|APL community]] and various [[:Category:user groups|user groups]] offer plenty of scheduled events and activities for both hobbyists and professionals, besides for continuously active [[chat rooms and forums]].
