A little help please.

I have been receiving information about the 2019 connect event in San Jose. I am very interested in attending, however NO mention about bringing a spouse. I am 72, married to the same lovely lady for 49 wonderful years, and I would NOT think of leaving her behind while I enjoy San Jose and the event. Any Google event coordinators read this? How about a response. Just how do we contact a real live person at Google :slight_smile:

In the event homepage there’s FAQs section and there’s a question “If selected, am I able to extend my trip or bring guests?”. Hope it helps.

@GrumpyOleMann For a selected attendee, Google would be paying for flight ticket, visa fees where needed, room during the event period only for the attendee. Attendees will each get a personal room.

If your spouse wants to join, the room will be ok to be shared for 2 persons without extra cost. But the travel expenses for your spouse such as flights, visa etc will need to be paid by yourself. Only the attendee will be allowed to join in the activities and programs arranged by Google. During the official programs, your spouse can visit the city for example.

Also, any stay period outside of the official event is not covered by Google.

And as @hankhsu1996 shared earlier, you can refer to the official post of the event for more details.
