How to organised a local guides meet up point
1 Like
Hello @Tanmoydubey
That is great that you are going to hold a meetup. Please post it https://maps.google.com/localguides/meetup and it can be an approved meetup. That will help people find your meetup and help them to know that they can trust.
Being a Local Guide is not just about helping people online. It’s about getting out there and exploring the world around you. If there’s something you’re passionate about, share it with Local Guides.
Local Guides Level 3 and above are encouraged to organize their own meet-up events. Learn more about hosting a meet-up and check out our meet-up resources and ideas on Local Guides Connect.
Here are some Meetup Tips Meet-up tipsMeet-up expenses
Google will not provide funding, collateral, or other types of incentives for these events. Meet-ups can be low cost or even free — simply grab your phone and explore your city on foot.
Local Guides Connect requirement
You must be signed up for Local Guides Connect in order to submit a meet-up. If your meet-up is approved, a post in Local Guides Connect will be automatically generated so that you can share updates with attendees.
Meet-up submission process
We will review your meet-up within one week, so we encourage you to submit your meet-up as early as possible. We will notify you when your meet-up has been approved or rejected. If approved, we will add it to the list of upcoming meet-ups. Note that we may edit your meet-up description before publishing. If rejected, we will let you know why and you will be able to submit a new meet-up for us to review.
Meet-up approvals
We approve meet-ups that involve bringing a community of Local Guides together. We reject meet-ups that are unrelated to Local Guides.
Make changes to your meet-up
For now you will not be able to make changes to your meet-up once it’s been submitted. We recommend posting any updates to the Local Guides Connect post that will be auto-generated after your meet-up has been approved.
Cancel your meet-up
You can cancel your meet-up by visiting your event page and clicking the “Cancel my meet-up” button.
Communicate with attendees
After your meet-up is approved, we will send you a link to an auto-generated post on Local Guides Connect where you and your meet-up attendees can get in touch. You will also be able to send up to three email announcements to attendees. Visit your approved meet-up page to learn more.
Meet-up promotion
If approved, we will add it to the list of upcoming meet-ups. We may also feature select meet-ups on our social media channels (Google+, Facebook, Twitter) and in our newsletter. We also encourage you to promote your meet-up via your own social media channels and in your local community using #LocalGuides.
After your meet-up
After your meet-up, thank your attendees for joining. Create a Google Photos album and share it with attendees so they can add their own photos.
We’d love to hear about your meet-up. Share your photos and recap on Local Guides Connect and complete this short survey to tell us how it went.
Other event platforms
You may use other event platforms to create your meet-up, but we will only promote and share meet-ups that have been created on our meet-up platform.
Using the Local Guides logo
The Local Guides logo is a Google brand identity and is reserved for official use only. Do not use the Local Guides logo, pin, or any other Google imagery in your meet-up materials.

Will be waiting to hear about your first meetup.
