Here is a recent post from the site on 10 Reasons to Tweetup:

10 Reasons to Tweetup

1. And the most important reason - It's fun! Being social with other likeminded Twitter fans - what could be more fun?
2. You get to meet your fiends and connections face to face. It gets you off the computer and enables you to meet them in person.
3. Share the love! Talk to those who know EXACTLY what you are talking about - favorite apps, funny stories, cool tools, new tweeps, etc.
4. Similar to a business networking event, you get to connect with local business owners which can lead to more referrals or collaboration on projects. But remember that the evening is not all about Business.
5. As the Swindon Tweetup meeting is a local affair, you will learn more about your local community - local needs, new businesses, upcoming events, etc.
6. Swap twitter business strategies, as well as other social media tools and tips. Share what has worked for your business, talk best practices, and ask questions.
7. Yes - I will state the obvious too - you can promote your business authentically as you walk round the room chatting. Your business will gain more exposure from word of mouth and via the media (photos, videos, etc) being shared during and after a Swindon Tweetup.
8. A tweetup will help you connect with other likeminded people and make new friends with similar interests.
9. Support a local charity or fundraiser. As the Swindon Tweetup grows we may be able to take a Charity under our wing for any donations each year.
10. After the tweetup - chat about it on Twitter. 'Pay it forward' with RTs and mentions, talk about those that you have met
