Is local guide connect 2020 will happen. If then how we can be invited. Because i am eagerly waiting for such an opportunity. Because i really like to meetup with different people and share my views and to have a healthy conversation with them also. Like to make some new friends also and contribute to google map in a better way.
Hello @mishravimal786 , for the previous editions there has been an email from the Google team to all local guides who are level 5 or higher to announce it. This was typically sent somewhere in Spring. As you are level 6 now, you should get the email in your mailbox in Spring 2020.
If you want more details, you can listen to the podcast episode I have just released on that topic

Hi @mishravimal786 ,
as indicated by @JanVanHaver , if we will have a 2020 event, you will be informed by email so, the first point is: adjust your setting, to be sure to receive the email. You can do this by following this link: https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings and checking your email preferences

Of course the information will be published here in Connect too, on the announcements board. Here is last year’s announce: Get ready for Connect Live 2019! in there you will have also an indication about the requirements. Here below an excerpt:
"What is your selection criteria?
