[CL2018 RECAP] As a "Local Guide" I review Connect Live 2018

As you are already recapitulated, Connect Live 2018 was such a wonderful party that words could not be found!

So I tried to review the entire part of the party as a “Local Guide”

#1, Strong security

Of course, I can not write in detail. But I appreciate that the security during the period was strong.

At the entrance of the hotel chosen as a venue, It was a structure that guerrillas and cars cannot attack. Also, can not snipe from the outdoors. The entrance reception staff was able to easily monitor the enemy’s rush. In addition, the back door was released beforehand in order to escape in case of emergency. It is San Francisco where gun control is severe, but we were protected as an important person.

#2, The schedule is consideration of the invited person’s fatigue

The airplane mark at the entrance greeted us cute. But this true meaning is “I know you are tired from taking an airplane.”

The party on the first day ended early and the free lounge which imaged the forest was released. It seemed to be a manifestation of intention that “participants are not bound by time”.

Furthermore, the number of times the staff indicated something was only 2 times! (group photo and tomorrow’s schedule) We changed into ethnic costumes and enjoyed hugs freely.

It was a crowded schedule. But tiredness was minimal. Because 100 excellent Connect Live staff adopted precise calculation for time allocation. They were calculating our degree of fatigue!

Session in the room next to breakfast. It gathers lazily at breakfast time and gradually increases the concentration to the session. That is, breakfast time itself is meeting time. No matter how overslept you are, you can not be late.

Sessions were separated by 30 minutes. It is very easy to maintain concentration.

There is a two-hour break just before the evening party. This is a time to change clothes to an evening dress or to rest your body, but it is a system that can cope even if the schedule is delayed significantly.

#3, We are a creativity group!

It is demonstrated psychologically that creativity increases when returning to a child’s heart. The party venue was just like a child park.

Treasure hunt and game searching for local guides logo items. The local guide marks we can publish are limited to gifts from Google. We will search for it at the venue. It’s a treasure hunt!


Free Lounge is full of play elements which return to kids with the campground themed subject.
Ring throwing game, juggling, Frisbee!


A lot of local guide photo studio which reproduced Selfie service installed in the sightseeing spot was installed. Since we are a local guide, we need to be able to operate these machines easily. It was fun!


#4, Consideration of all the food culture, and meals of the famous American food

It will be very important. Participants have different food cultures all over the world. And most of the theme of our local guide is “food”.

I learned a lot from vegetarian, vegan, and fruitarian and I also tried it. The meal provided by Google was the best taste for that tasting.

America is also a cafe culture. Machines were installed in various places and we were able to drink free coffee at any time including session.

I noticed a lot more than this, but omit it. What I want to say is that 100 excellent staff are the best meet-up organizers and we have learned a lot!

Again, Thank you Googler, thank you Connect Live Staff!!

Hi @YasumiKikuchi

This is one of the most interesting Recap of Connect Live that I have read. Your attention to the details of the organisation is definitely impressive. I wasn’t paying attention to some of the things that you are highlighting here, and I definitely want to agree with you about organisation and safety.

It was a great pleasure to meet you, an experience that I hope to repeat next year

No hay duda que todos somos muy diferentes en lo que nos llama la atención y lo que damos por sentado @YasumiKikuchi , tus detalle son muy interesantes y atinados, yo di por sentada la seguridad, en realidad paso desapercibida para mi, eso significa desde mi punto de vista que es eficiente, ya que en ningún momento en el hotel me sentí observado u objetado por estar allí, apenas me registre fui un pasajero más como me ocurrió también en el hotel en que estuve los días anteriores y posteriores al CL18, en general en SF, me sentí muy seguro y libre de caminar sin ningún tipo de acoso o lo que sea por algún servicio de seguridad, lo que destacó ya que mi preconcepto que tenía de EEUU, era de un lugar ultra vigilante y molesto con esto, no puedo decir que me sentí mal, al contrario, tengo que retractarme mentalmente de lo que pensaba al respecto, es más en un viaje en el Muní charle con el chofer que fue extremadamente amable con migo.

Yasumi, fue un gran gusto el poder conocerlo, sentir toda su amabilidad para con migo, gracias. espero poder verlo nuevamente.

Saludos Farid

Thank you for your reply @ErmesT
One thing I was looking forward to when I was invited was to observe the work of Googler. Like the last photo, I was looking forward to observing the backyard!

I will make an effort to see you again!

Thank you for your reply @davidhyno
That’s right, we are VIP!:policeman:‍:person_in_tuxedo:

Thank you for the photos @FaridTDF
They are quite accustomed not to let non-parties invade facilities. It may be a symbol that is a difficult country.
I was surprised to see the airport, for example. To the security gates a lot!

I will continue making efforts to reunite with you!

Thank you for your reply @JonasLaurince
I was busy so I was a little late, but I was happy that you were glad to read it!
I will post other trips at a later date!

Thank you for your praise @Magbagbeola
I was relieved that my summary was successful!
