JOIN: Create Local Guides Virtual Meet-up Invite Talk

With the new structure of how to create a Local Guides meet-up, how should you create a virtual meet-up? Should you create a Facebook Event or Google Forms link?

Join @ErmesT and I, @KarenVChin , on November 15th at 7 AM San Francisco Time / 4 PM Italy time.

@JaneBurunina – I agree with @ErmesT . You easily have many insightful things to share on the 15th with on how you create your Local Guides virtual meet-up invites too. We all can learn from each other! Looking forward to having a lively discussion with you.

A great initiative @KarenVChin and @ErmesT . I haven’t checked what my local time will be yet however I would love to participate. If I may, there is an error in the example Local Guides Google Maps Profile link that you have shown on the form. The erroneous “)” at the end of your example link breaks the link. Simply fixed by removing that erroneous bracket. Also, the field where you ask attendees to enter their Google Maps Profile link is too short such that after entry it makes the Local Guide’s link look wrong and may cause some confusion. Simply fixed by extending the display field for the link.

@Shrut19 - @shrimaan_rathore beat me to your question. It is around the same time as when I hosted my virtual meet-ups, except now Sunday, instead of Saturday.

It looks like America falls back in the Fall one hour than India. Spring through Summer there is a 12 1/2 hour difference. Fall through Winter there is a 13 1/2 hour difference. Did not know that until Shirman pointed out the new time difference. Thanks Shirman for the education.

See you both tomorrow!

Cheers,

Karen
