Thanks to all for your responses. Obviously I was clueless, but with your help I am more educated.

I'm going to ask this question here with the hopes that the responses will be polite. ;-)  

To the uninitiated, what takes place at a meet & greet, beyond the obvious, which I take as a "mixer." I gather there are all kinds, but generally how many people attend? Are there any activities, again outside the seemingly obvious? How much do they generally cost? Are they worthwhile? Are there any considerable risks? Curious about a general sense of what they are and what one would expect. Thank you in advance for any helpful replies.

as that would severely endanger all the people there.  You have to suspect that LE occasionally infiltrates these hoping to make a bust.  On the other hand, I have heard stories of meet and greets where some gals set up shop in a near by room, but that is definitely the exception.

Now, if you see someone you like there, and want to set up activities off site later in the evening, that's another story.

At one meet and greet, a group of gals got a little tipsy and nipples appeared, but that's about it.

Also there's a storied hobbyist out in Chicago with a stripper pole in his loft, the scene of many a legendary meet and greet.  But the activities are pretty much rated PG17.

I'd say the average attendance at these is about 50-70 people, about 50/50 guys to gals

I've been to M&Gs in a number of cities. They ladies are usually all done up, hair, make up, fancy outfits. The guys not so much. I've been to M&Gs  at private residences, restaurants that were closed to the public and even a hotel conference center  

Over the years one of the keys I've found is the host or hostess who organizes the M&G. They control who gets accepted to attend and set the behavior allowed. Sometimes it's a lot of mingling of providers and clients and sometimes a little more than mingling I've been to ones with as few as 20 people and as many as 150.  

Remember this a marketing event for the ladies, I've been handed business cards at these evens and propositioned. One if the features I like is you get to talk with the ladies and see them in person. It's amazing sometimes the difference between the pictures and RL.  

If you want to attend one with sex I suggest you go to a Soirée which is held in major cities. They post hear and have a web site if that's what you want.

As said earlier the typical M&G is a mixer, mainly for potential clients to meet potential providers and to get a feel for each other in a neutral, casual and safe setting for all parties involved. Rarely are any illicit activities allowed on the premises, but quite often there are "after parties" where sometimes anything and everything goes, but usually at a different location and only by "willing" participants, usually people that already know each other.

M&Gs are also a great place to meet fellow mongers, agency owners and even providers that you aren't interested in physically, but can become great friends. The typical financial arrangement is that the ladies attend for free and the cost of the event is shared by charging each one of the guys from a low of about $40 to usually no more than $100 to cover the cost of the venue, the food and the drinks. Some of the hosts do this in the hopes of making a profit, but it's hardly a way to get rich. Most hosts just hope to break even and have a lot of fun in the process.

complain about blurred photos but at a M & G you get to meet and talk with the ladies to see just who is able to get Jr.'s attention. Sometimes photo angles can be deceiving.

How do you find a meet and greet in your city?

...post there ahead of time with instructions on how to contact them and be screened. They usually will put a notice on the regional board to go check the M&G board. I suggest you go read whatever is on the M&G board now just to get an idea of how some are done.
