Ultra meetups are recurring sessions for members. Some are online (think hour-long deep-dives or member Q&As); others are in person (Rask gathers members in Melbourne and other Australian capitals from time to time). A few are both — broadcast online from a physical venue.
Where to find the next session
Open Rask Ultra and scroll to Upcoming meetups. The list is ordered by start time and only shows future sessions — once a meetup has ended it disappears from the hub.
Each meetup card shows:
- The date and time, displayed in your local timezone (not Melbourne time, unless that’s where you are).
- A mode badge — Online, In person, or Online & in person.
- For online sessions: a Join online button that opens the meeting link in a new tab.
- For in-person sessions: the venue address.

On the meetup page
When you open a meetup, the top of the page is a structured event header with everything you need:
- The exact time in your local timezone — and the source Melbourne time underneath if you’re in a different timezone, so there’s no ambiguity.
- A “Starts in X hours” chip when the event is less than a week away.
- Mode badge so you can tell at a glance whether it’s online, in person, or both.
- Open in Apple Maps / Open in Google Maps for in-person events — both options are shown so you can use whichever you prefer.
- Join online button for online sessions. After the event has finished, the same button switches to Watch replay and points at the recorded session.
Add it to your calendar
There are two one-click options on the meetup page:
Add to calendar (recommended)
The Add to calendar button downloads a small .ics file. Your operating system handles the rest:
- Mac / iPhone / iPad → opens Apple Calendar with an “Add” prompt
- Windows → opens Outlook
- Android → prompts to add to Google Calendar
- Linux → opens your default calendar handler
Open the downloaded file once and the event is on your calendar with the title, time, location, and join link pre-filled.
Remind me on Rask
The Remind me on Rask button creates a task in your Tasks page and schedules an in-app reminder roughly one hour before the meetup starts. Use this alongside your calendar if you live in Rask day-to-day. If the meetup is rescheduled, the reminder is automatically reset to the new time.
How to join an online session
Click Join online a couple of minutes before the start time. The link opens in a new tab. We recommend a desktop browser if you want to share your screen or take notes — phones and tablets are fine for listening.
How to attend an in-person event
Click Open in Apple Maps or Open in Google Maps to get directions. In-person events sometimes have limited capacity — keep an eye on your inbox for any registration steps if a session needs an RSVP.
Replays
Where a session is recorded, the replay lives at the same online URL the session used. After the event has ended, the Join online button on the meetup page automatically switches to Watch replay. Some sessions are off-the-record on purpose and don’t have a replay — that’s by design.
