Hello guys, can we plan a meetup in upcoming holidays so that local guide of banglore can show us few stuff which we don’t know about !
I guess it will be interesting if we properly plan everything and make this happen.
PS: i am new to Bangalore as a student so i don’t know anything about banglore. I am from Mumbai.
Someone should lead / take initiative…
Hello @Jagannath098
Nice to meet you. It’s a good thing that you are planning a meet-up to explore Bangalore. There are lots of meet-up in Bangalore but you can also plan yours.
Please take a look at A-new-way-to-support-your-meet-ups . That article will help you as regards meet-up.
I’ll also tag @TusharSuradkar a moderator
Cheers
Thank you for tagging me @SholaIB
Welcome to Connect 
It is exciting to know that you are interested in meeting local guides in Bangalore.
I recommend reading these tips:
First and foremost, at LG Connect we value everyone’s privacy, and sharing private information on Connect is not encouraged.
You will often find that phone numbers and other such sensitive information are redacted from articles.
1. Favorite Locations
To easily connect with Local Guides in your local area, you may want to try the Favorite Locations feature.
Go to your settings page and add up to 3 locations after which posts created by local guides from those cities will be listed on the main page.
Tip: If you are traveling to a new place temporarily, you can remove and add the new one. Changes reflect immediately. Following that you can connect with local guides from the new place.
2. Browse Older Posts
Browse through older posts of local guides from a place and check if they are still active and would be interested in a meetup. Chances are enthusiastic local guides did not find enough people to connect some time back and respond to your comments.
3. Private Messages
Send a private message to local guides using the feature here on Connect.
4 . Upcoming Meet-ups
A meet-up is meant to explore new places and make friends with local guides in your community. Check for upcoming meetups in the Meet-ups section.
By clicking the Show All button circled (2) in the image below you can also search for meetups by location.
5. Previous Meet-ups
Leave a reply on past meetups.
Search The LG Connect community for the word recap that is used by most local guides in their post-meetup reports. You can then search through past meetups telling the local guides that you missed it and leave a request to notify you when the next meetup is hosted.
6. Conduct a meet-up
Use the Submit meet-up button circled (1) in the image above to host a meetup. This would be a great way to reach out to the local guide community in that place proactively.
7. Do not hesitate
Go ahead and post a message seeking local guides in a city like this person from Bangalore did and got a good response.
Make sure you add a location to the post as shown in the image below.
As a matter of personal choice, I stay away from chat groups like WhatsApp and social media like Facebook to connect with new local guides in my area. My numero uno platform is LG Connect.
LG Connect though does not discourage you from being active on social media. But I use social media for the promotion of content that already exists on LG Connect and not as a starting point.
Hope you find these useful.
Thank you for a prompt reply @TusharSuradkar
@ssr1999 you’ll be interested in this reply here seeing you are also new and interested in .meet-ups
