There are a ton of meetups around the Philadelphia area, especially around University city. What I would do is come up with a couple ideas for talks, then go to a meetup, chat with the organizer(s), tell them you're interested in giving talks and ask how many people they think would come to the topicsyou propose.

They vary in how far out they plan, e.g. the Java Users Group has a speaker list booked to the end of the year.

The part I struggle with is scheduling, since it takes a lot of time for me to write the actual talks.
