 Hey @roelv and welcome to Trac.

 It looks like in this instance it's not showing you events near Utrecht,
 but rather near your IP location which is most likely showing up as UK
 based upon the results you're seeing.

 The `Utrecht` text you're seeing there, is instead simply a localised
 example of a location you could search for, based upon your translations.

 [attachment:Screen Shot 2018-01-22 at 10.10.48 pm.png] is an example of
 what I see - the example text shown is Sydney however if I was to search
 for Brisbane (as i've done) the text above it references that location.

 And finally, for reference,
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/api.wordpress.org/public_html/events/1.0/index.php?marks=674-678#L664
 the code for the API] is 100km for meetups, and 400km for WordCamps.

 Does it show you what you'd expect if you search for your location?
 If you'd be comfortable, are you willing to share your IP address? (Just
 replace the final digits with .x, ie. `103.25.58.x`) as that's what it's
 probably using at present to incorrectly identify your location.
