I run a startup in the software development space from Kolkata, India. Despite being one of the most fast paced cities, there’s a lack of communication, exposure and cultural exchange locally.
I have been a part of international exchange programs and a good network of knowledgeable people.
I would like to host small, interactive mentor connect sessions (limited to 30 people) where subject matter experts talk to the attendees and help them learn and implement something new.
First, I would like to remind you that Idea Exchange is the section on Connect, where Local Guides share their ideas toward making the platform og Google Maps better.
As your post is not an idea, I will be moving it out of the Idea Exchange and will label it to meet-ups instead. It seems that what you want, could be achieved by hosting a meet-up in your local area, but please remember, that it may not have any association with business of any kind.
