I'm not fond of the ones during movies. For the Fair, I think it may be a matter of focus from the organizers or maybe other people who living in Amsterdam just stop in for one or two things and then leave again. I think that at least some of the nonprofit organizations should have unofficial meet-ups, but I'm not willing to organize them so I'm not one to talk. ;) Good luck with the tech class.
