Dear Google Local Guides Team, just came across the invitation to attend Connect LIVE: New York on May 8th & 9th, and l’m truly honored to have been considered. Whilel unfortunately missed the event, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the recognition and for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful community. Contributing to Google Maps as a Local Guide has been a rewarding journey- helping others discover hidden gems, explore new places, and navigate more confidently. I would’ve loved the chance to connect with fellow Guides and provide direct feedback to the Maps team. If there are future opportunities to participate or attend similar events, please keep me in mind. I’m committed to continuing my contributions and would be excited to take part in what’s next for the Local Guides program. Thank you again for the invite and all the work your team does to support and empower this global community. Warm regards,
@Kristen_NYC
