Congratulations on hosting this meetup, dear @Vkm_Yasar

Local guides who will join online will be excited to see the market of Riyadh through your lens.

Let’s use this opportunity to update the status of businesses, providing accurate, current information to locals and visitors.

Let’s help new businesses gain exposure and make it easy for users by ensuring that maps reflect the most current and useful information. :handshake:

@ErmesT

It is not Ankit’s meetup.

The host is @Vkm_Yasar from Saudi Arabia.
I am facilitating it online as a co-host so that local guides can join the meetup online.

This idea was originally introduced and perfected by @TravellerG to solve the issues that we faced on the meetup site.

Hybrid meetups are now a de facto mode for most meetups in India.

Thank you for the wishes :handshake:

Respected @ErmesT Ji… Yes, many times, the meet-up may be in a remote place and the Host will be struggling for mobile data/signal - for the same reason, the attendees used to struggle/some will not be able to join even - when a Co-host is available, he/she will be operating from a place with stable Data… really this helps a lot… worth trying…
The responsibility of admitting attendees will be with the co-host… This will free the Host from a major responsibility.

Thanks for referring me in your post, dear @TusharSuradkar
Regards with gratitude…
