Hello @Harry007

It’s a nice thing that you are thinking of organising a meet-up, Well-done. Nevertheless connect is very organised and there are protocols to follow to keep it continually organised.

To conduct a meet-up you have to officially submit your proposal and wait for it to be approved and even if it’s not approved you can still go ahead with it. Please look up this article We-re-launching-a-new-way-to-support-your-meet-ups that will give you all the information you need regarding meet-up in your locality.

You can also join a meet-up or contact other local guides in India to learn and help you. I’ll tag @TusharSuradkar a moderator and active local guide from India.

Cheers

Hi @Harry007

Welcome to Connect :pray: and congratulations on your first post.

This is a good initiative and I hope many local guides from the NCR join you.

I traveled to Bikaner last year around this time and enjoyed all places a lot.

The Decorative Doors of Junagarh Fort Palace in Bikaner

The Festival Courtyard of Junagarh Fort Palace in Bikaner

Further to what @Shola4sure has explained, here are a few tips and easy ways to connect with local guides in the shortest possible time.

1. Favorite Locations

To easily connect with Local Guides in your local area, you may want to try the Favorite Locations feature.
Go to your settings page and add up to 3 locations after which posts created by local guides from those cities will be listed on the main page.

Tip: If you are traveling to a new place temporarily, you can remove and add the new one. Changes reflect immediately. Following that you can connect with local guides from the new place.

2. Browse Older Posts

Browse through older posts of local guides from a place and check if they are still active and would be interested in a meetup. Chances are enthusiastic local guides did not find enough people to connect some time back and respond to your comments.

3. Private Messages

Send a private message to local guides using the feature here on Connect.

4 . Upcoming Meet-ups

A meet-up is meant to explore new places and make friends with local guides in your community. Check for upcoming meetups in the Meet-ups section.

By clicking the Show All button circled (2) in the image below you can also search for meetups by location.

5. Previous Meet-ups

Leave a reply on past meetups.

Search The LG Connect community for the word recap that is used by most local guides in their post-meetup reports. You can then search through past meetups telling the local guides that you missed it and leave a request to notify you when the next meetup is hosted.

6. Conduct a meet-up

Use the Submit meet-up button circled (1) in the image above to host a meetup. This would be a great way to reach out to the local guide community in that place proactively.

7. Do not hesitate

Go ahead and post a message seeking local guides in a city like this person from Bangalore did and got a good response.

Make sure you add a location to the post as shown in the image below.

Hope you find these useful.

and don’t forget to tag me in the recap post of your meetup :blush:
