Hi all!

For those curious to know what a week spent in San Francisco and attending the Connect Live 2018 event is like, have a browse through my online album. It’s but a brief snippet of the full experience; I left out tons of photos from the official event itself (partially from NDA material) so it’s rather toned down. I wanted the photo essay to be snappy and light so I tried not to cram too many photos in it!

The photo collage above, I think, is enough to convey just how wonderful the whole event was. Everyone was smiling constantly or screaming in excitement! And the main takeaway from the experience, is the connections that I’ve made with so many wonderful people. Some are old friends that I’ve met in the past two summits, mostly are new! All are just super amazing Local Guides! Enjoy!

You’re welcome @HiroyukiTakisawa ! I wished I had more time to chat to everyone properly! I love going to cafes so your cafe event would have been super suited for me. Unfortunately, I was away to do a video shoot and got back just in time for the welcome reception!

Thanks @Amiran there were more photos but I didn’t want to include everything. Also, Google will release the official album soon and I suspect the attendees will release our unofficial albums too… I believe the last count for that album is 3000+ photos… so that’s a lot!!
