Dear LG Community,

This event was all about helping people build a strong connection while celebrating Women’s Day. The stalls were majority of women-owned businesses featuring a wide variety of products, including clothing, paintings, bakery products, jewellery and raw honey.

We had some great conversation related to LG Connect and Google Maps. We learnt more details about how to update maps, report incorrect listing, how to do meet-ups as much as possible, how to update maximum roads by the local guides community and many more topics. We believe in sharing and gaining knowledge with every experience just. Thank you @ssiddharth2000 and @gvipin
