Thanks to everyone who joined us for “Italy, December 21, Our 10th Year of the Local Guides Program - Virtual Meet-up”.
The full recap will be coming soon, but I want to thank my co-host @KarenVChin , @AdrianLunsong for being the heart and soul of all the events this year, and of course our special guest @Julie_A for bringing us the warmth and holiday wishes from the entire Connect team.
I wasn’t free to attend, Sundays are busy for me really. Great this event can be wrapped up very nicely like this. Happy 2026 in advance to all local guides far and near.
@PrasadVR thank you for the great presentation. Lots of local guides were happy that TRAC was well represented. I like it when TRAC can get on even without me.
@MarcoDavoli I believe your presence there was great. I hail other TRACians as well that attended the event.
Congratulations on the great success of the year-end party!** It was truly a memorable celebration. The presence of Googler Julie was a wonderful and pleasant surprise, making the event even more special.
The inspiring messages of our Googlers shared by Googler Julie filled us with fresh energy and motivation to continue our contributions with renewed enthusiasm in the coming year.
Thank you Ermes and Karen for organizing such a meaningful and joyful event.
The pictures from today’s virtual meet-up demonstrate how lively it was. Unfortunately, I missed it, but I plan to watch it later on the Go Loco Guides YouTube channel.
I want to extend my thanks to everyone who participated in the meet-up, and I wish you all an early Merry Christmas!

It was great being part of the virtual meet-up yesterday. Really enjoyed hearing from everyone and celebrating 10 years of the Local Guides community together. Big thanks to you, @KarenVChin , @AdrianLunsong and all the speakers for making it such a memorable event!
I was really looking forward to sharing my own presentation about the LG 10-year meet-ups (almost 75 hosted by Guides around the world), but I had to sit it out this time due to illness.
Thank you @ErmesT for the virtual meet-up last night. I apologize for only being able to join for a short while during the presentation. Since I am based in Indonesia, it was almost 11:00 PM here which is typically when people are heading to bed so I had to hop off early. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay longer
This recap was a great read. It nicely captures the spirit of celebrating 10 years of the Local Guides program and the value of coming together virtually. Credit to the hosts and speakers, including @ErmesT, for putting together something meaningful, and for sharing the recording so others can still catch
