At best a person might keep up with a sliver or two of the frontier and chase a few more. But the idea of being on a par with people Norvig and Moore and Cunningham and... all at the same time? Nobody can.
I don't really go to meetups and I consider myself pretty up to date.
I believe a person can keep up with the technology just by reading on the Internet, maybe by being a member of some expert groups on Facebook / LinkedIn (and reading the content).
I don't think my links would help you, most of those are Croatian (local) communities. I'm a member of some developers groups, system administrator groups and few of them for every programming language I use.
