Today I attended my very first google meet up. This wasn’t just a community organised event, it was one of the many Connect Live event taking place in 2019.
I had decided all week that I was going to attend this event. I didn’t know what to expect and I wasn’t disappointed.
The program was very well organised. You could tell that a lot of thought was put into hosting the event. The badges were customised with each user’s mastery achievement on Map.
That wasn’t all, everyone that was invited got a plaque recognising their achievements. At the end of the day, we got some swag and the pegman pin up.
The highlight for me were the new friends I made and the new motivation to continue to contribute to a better world via map.

Hi @nwolisa
I am so happy that you enjoyed the event, together with the Local Guides of the Lagos Community (I have a lot of friends in there).
Did you took some photo? I am curious also about the custmised badges

Hello Nwolisa!
I was there at the Connect Live, and I agree with you. It was amazing. It’s actually my first meetup ever (even as a Level 7) and I enjoyed every bit of it. I’m glad you did too.
Peace!

@ChidiO chidithe invitations were sent to top Local Guides in Lagos via email. If you got selected to attend, then you should have received the email. If your city is Lagos and didn’t get an email, do check your settings to ensure you receive emails.
@nwolisa nice to know you loved the experience.

@EmekaUlor , could you help me with the contact or username of the lady that moderated the topic “How can Local Guides help Lagos business owners grow their business” during the Connect Live Lagos, last Saturday.

I wasn’t really happy to hear that such great event was organized within my area…anyway i congratulate those that have opportunity to attend. Subsequently, i think this should be open to every committed and passionate local guide to attend this event and not just sending invitations to only few selected Local Guide.
