Explore the Globe #1 - Virtual Meetup 23 September 2023

Less than 2 weeks ago I launched the idea of a new type meetup: Explore the Globe. The response was overwhelming, and we already have enough candidates to present a location for the 1st session!.It will be held on Saturday 23 September 2023 at 2 PM CEST.

(To calculate when the meetup will take place in your local time, you can use the following website:https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter - simply enter “14:00” and “CEST” on the left and your time zone / country / city on the right)

The concept is quite simply: in a 1 hour virtual meetup we collectively explore the globe by having 5-minute slots from local guides from across the globe who are taking part in the meetup on their smartphone from a location of their choice where they can tell something interesting about.

The local guides that will be presenting their selected location are:

@Sagir from Nigeria

@Maximilianozalazar from Argentina

@AdrianLunsong from Malaysia

@MortenCopenhagen from Denmark

@TerryPG from Canada

@Keith_Augsburg from Germany

@Saiyen from Bangladesh

@Hemang_Rindani from India

As you can see: we will cover most continents, making it a truely global event!

You can sign up to participate using this form: https://forms.gle/iEzsgx4xAB4BPuRW6 . Don’t wait too long to sign up, as the number of participants is limited to 100. As link to participate will be sent shortly before the event starts.

No @MortenCopenhagen I was not planning to do that - in my view it’s better to keep that as something to discover during the meetup.

slot 4: Morten Meyer (Denmark)
slot 5: Keith Minehart (Germany)
slot 6: Sagir Adamu (Nigeria)
