Occasionally, Jacknjellify does meetups to connect with their fans. This is a list of such meetups.

2017 Anaheim Meetup[]

2018 Crossover Meetup[]

This meetup took place on June 24, 2018. It took place at the With Love Market & Café in Los Angeles, California, United States. For the first time, a Q&A segment with the series creators happened near the end, which would carry over for the following meetups. The video BFDI and II Finally Cross Over was the announcement for this meetup.

2918 meetup steam[]

2918 meetup steam is where the 2018 Crossover Meetup was originally livestreamed and was converted to an unlisted video containing the full, unedited footage of the meetup after it was finished. The title of the video has "2918" and "steam" instead of "2018" and "stream". It's unknown if this was a spelling mistake. In a Humany video, Cary Huang clarified that his "S" key is not very sensitive and doesn't register sometimes, but the letter that would be missing if the word was supposed to be "stream" would be R.

2019 Crossover Meetup[]

This meetup took place on July 14, 2019. It took place at the With Love Market & Café in Los Angeles, California, United States, the same place the crossover meetup was held last year. In it, the Firey plush was given to attendees, alongside food served by the store. They sold out within an hour into the meetup. The video II + BFDI back together again! is the announcement for this meetup.

BFDI x II Meetup 2022[]

This meetup took place on July 30, 2022. It took place at the MG Studio in Los Angeles, California, United States. In it, the Lightbulb and Rocky plushies were given to attendees, alongside several posters. The video BFDI & Inanimate Insanity Meet Up! is the announcement for this meetup.

BFDI x Inanimate Insanity 2023 Experience[]

This event, unlike previous years, was described as an "experience", rather than a meetup. It took place in two locations: June 25, 2023 at the Saban Media Center in Los Angeles, California, United States, and July 8, 2023 at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater in New York, New York, United States, each having 3 screenings of TPOT 6 and III 14, with the morning and evening screenings also containing a Q&A with the creators, and an optional VIP ticket for a meeting, photo, and signing with the creators. In these experiences, the Two and Nickel plushies were sold, alongside other exclusive merch including sticker packs, Bot enamel pins, and posters designed by Katherine Sun. The video TWO OF THEM!? - BFDI X Inanimate Insanity 2023 Event is the announcement for both meetups.

BFDI & Inanimate Insanity 2024 Tour[]

During Jacknjellify and AnimationEpic's 2 million and 500K subscribers stream, when asked if there would be another meetup, Adam confirmed that the BFDI x Inanimate Insanity Experience would happen again in 2024.

This event, described as a "tour" rather than a "meetup" or "experience", would end up getting leaked on the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF)'s website in March of 2024, confirming Seattle, Washington as the third location and two new BFDI and II episodes (TPOT 12, BFDIA 14, and II2 15) being screened followed by a Q&A with the creators. A fourth location, Chicago, Illinois, would end up getting leaked days later.

The tour would finally be announced in the video HOST TO COAST - BFDI & II 2024 Tour! on March 30, 2024. Tickets for each meetup could be viewed here. It took place at six locations:

The NYU Skirball Center in New York City on June 28-30.
The Linda & Archie Dunham Theater in Houston, Texas on July 6,
The SIFF Cinema Egyptian in Seattle, Washington on July 13 and 14.
The Saban Media Center in Los Angeles, California on July 20 and 21 (one of the locations where the 2023 experience was held).
The Harris Theater in Chicago, Illinois on July 27,
The Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on August 3 and 4.

Each venue had two screenings of II2 15 and TPOT 12 (first three events) and BFDIA 14 (last three events). This also included a Q&A with the series creators of both shows. Like last year, an optional VIP ticket could be ordered for a meeting, photo, and signing with the creators. Plushes of Taco and Evil Leafy were sold at the event alongside other exclusive merch including a Pin pin. The Tennis Ball plushes sold during the tour had a tag defect reading Golf Ball on it, leading many to speculate a Golf Ball plush was in the works, which was later confirmed.

Announced on July 13, 2024, there was a pop-up event on July 19, 2024 in Burbank, California to sell tour merchandise to people without a ticket the day before the Los Angeles tour dates.

A Theatre Etiquette video, made specifically for the meetup, was also shown. Inanimate Insanity director Brian Koch stated on Twitter it will be released on YouTube, which happened the day after the tour ended on August 5, 2024.^[1]

Cancelled meetups[]

A meetup was planned in Denver, Colorado but was cancelled because Michael Huang missed his flight. A crossover meetup was likely planned for 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
