ConnectLIVE 2026

[AdamGT]

Hello fellow Local Guides!

Can you feel the excitement? We are down to the final hours! This is just a friendly nudge to remind you that the application window for ConnectLIVE 2026 officially closes tonight: Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

If you’ve been thinking about applying but haven’t hit “submit” yet, now is your moment!

How to Apply

To be in the running for this incredible experience, make sure you:

• Complete the Official Application Form before the deadline.
• Check out This Detailed Post for all the essential info and requirements.

Why Apply?

While an application doesn’t guarantee a spot, one thing is certain: you have a 0% chance of attending if you don’t apply! ConnectLIVE is about more than just a trip; as well as the opportunity to preview unreleased features, it’s about connecting in-person with Google product teams and leading members of this amazing global family we’ve built together.

Let’s Meet in Person!

I am crossing my fingers and hoping to be invited this year. If I make it, my absolute favorite part would be finally meeting all of you face-to-face.

Who else is applying? Drop a comment below if you’ve submitted yours, and let me know—if we both get in, would you like to meet up? Let’s make 2026 the year we turn those profile pictures into real-life memories!

Good luck to everyone!
