How to participate in events?

[ErmesT]

Hi @Mustkader
First of all a warm welcome to Connect. Is great to have here another Local guide from Egypt.

@Mustkader

I hope to participate in new events outside Egypt

There are two types of Events:

• Local Guides Meet-ups. Are events organized by Local Guides like you and me. Time by time they are also International, like Lucca Euro Meet-up 2025. In this type of meet-up the participants cover the cost of the participation
• Official events Organized by Google. Depending on the type of event we are invited to apply for the selection, like for Connect live 2019, or there is a direct invitation sent by Google based on the quality of our contributions and/or our level of engagement in Connect, like for Connect Live 2025 in New York, Tokio and Bangalore.
  For being informed about upcoming events organized by Google makes sure to enable the email’s relevant settings: Question about a Local Guides reward email? Read this first

The key for being rewarded is in Quality

@AriMar

Rewards are offered to Local Guides from time to time as a thank you for contributing great content on Google Maps. You may receive a reward because you’ve consistently shared high-quality contributions,
