A New and Improved Meet-Up Site

Yesterday we launched a new meet-up site which makes organizing and finding meet-ups near you much easier.

So what’s new? A lot!

  • Making it easier to find meet-ups — You can now filter by city, date and meet-up type.
  • Quicker moderation — We’ll review your submitted meet-up within one week and notify you once it’s been reviewed. If approved, your meet-up will appear in the meet-up search results.
  • A unique page for each meet-up — Once approved, you’ll receive a unique link to your meet-up page that you can share across social networks and other channels.
  • Local Guides Connect — For approved meet-ups, we’ll automatically share a post on Local Guides Connect where you can discuss and share more details with attendees.
  • Attendee registration — Local Guides can register to attend your meet-up right on your meet-up’s page. You’ll be able to set a maximum capacity for your meet-up and keep track of registration numbers as the date approaches. Anyone can see the list of who’s coming by simply clicking on the number who’ve signed up to attend.
  • Automated notifications — Local Guides who sign up to attend will receive a reminder email a couple of days before your meet-up. We’ll also send you a reminder email to make sure you have everything set.

Check out the new site at g.co/localguides/meetup and let us know what you think in the comments below.

@AnuradhaP @iyudhi @Shirley You’ll noticed that you can now see the list of attendees for any meet-up. Just click on the number who are attending and you’ll see their names and a link to their contributions in Google Maps. Thanks for the feedback about this!

@HelloJess Thanks!! We’ve got another planned meet up in Vancouver but I’m not the one hosting it. So I’m going to tag @JenneferB so she can give this a go! :slight_smile:
