[RECAP] Knowledge Sharing Meetup.

Hello everyone, we successfully finished our knowledge sharing meetup.

This was the jointly meetup with other community in Bangladesh organized by me. This was my initial intention to get together all community in Bangladesh and make new local guides, people aware about how to contribute to Google Maps & it’s benefits, share tips and tricks that how Google maps can be used in different way rather it is used just for direction and importance of accessibility.

The first session we introduced each other. Then i give a Gift Box for all participants. Everyone was very happy to get this and wear Gazipur Local Guides Base.

Second session we take some group photos. @user_not_found Khokon told us how to take perfect photo. He give us some tips/tricks.

Third session we seat one place for discussion, then I asked new members about connect but they don’t know what is it. Then I gave them URL to sign in and they created their account. I try to explain about connect, how to behave, what to post and what not to post.

2ndly @ShahMdSultan told us his local guide story and experience. He told us how to contribute in Google Maps, how add photos, videos, about Badge, points, etc.

In the meantime some other countries local guides join with us via video conference and share their experience.

@bdmafuz Your RECAP Looks fine and has some unique ideas like gift boxes for attendees, live broadcasting with the live chat with fellows. I missed you all first time and finally joined there last time of the event.

Keep exploring…

Happy Guiding!

What a COOL meeting you had!
There is so much to like when reading this RECAP. I think the cute gift box is a very nice touch. The way you sit on a road in a circle is super cool and I love the connections you made with video-conferencing.

I wish I was there.
