This was not only the connect’19 experience sharing meet up, but also it was a blast of gifts, prizes and good news giving meet up.
with the national flag of Bangladesh
There were some amazing volunteer from all of the volunteers like us. They keep them awake full night before the meet up to organize the gift packages. They arranged the venue. They organized successful sponsors who understand the necessity of the volunteer works.

We was amazed by the idea of the drone photo and video shoot. Thanks to the team of drone supplier. We have given award for the trending connect posts. This thanks goes to our core team of Bangladesh local guide and rokomari.com (online book selling organization). Our meet up t-shirt was sponsored by star_tech (computer harware & software solution company). Our venue was managed by our core team with the help of some student of United International University.
drone to capture the moment
I was late in the meet up. It was not my weekend though it was Friday, because Saturday is our weekend in my office. Whatever by the grace of Almighty and with the help of pathao (two wheeler service in Bangladesh) I reached as the last attendee of 123 meet up of Bangladesh Local Guide. It was a surprising moment, all local guides were sitting on the stairs wearing the same orange-white t-shirt under a Electric bird (Drone). It was capturing them from near and far, picture and videos. I ran to the ground under stairs and joined the photo session at first.
Then it was the middle of our meet up. We took our snacks containing burger, role, cake and drink. Then we go to the auditorium to have the main speeches. We heard from one of the connect moderator from Bangladesh, one attendee of connect’19 and heard the problems & solutions related to google maps. There was a great good news for us that we are going to be able to add roads in Bangladesh very soon. That was so much amazing news for us.
Then it was the award giving ceremony. I was very surprised to have two awards. One for trending post in connect forum and another was for the activities in our community. We got gifts from our connect attendee. It really added a great value in my memory, so I must say it was the most successful experience sharing meet up for me.
