Important:

  • Arrive 10 minutes before the session starts. Entry may be restricted 5 minutes after the start of the session.

  • Upon joining, please mute yourself but feel free to drop a friendly ‘Hi’ in the chat window. Throughout the session, unless you’re asked to speak, you should have your mic muted. Please also find a quiet spot to enjoy the session so that when you do speak, we can hear you clearly.

  • Please aim to have your video camera turned on: we love to see your friendly smiles!

  • But we also don’t want to see anything too personal, so please dress sensibly and make sure you are in a well lit area. Wearing your national costumes would be awesome!

  • Feel free to decorate your background with your country flags and/or Local Guides memorabilia.

  • If you want to eat/drink or need to temporarily take a leave, please turn off your video to avoid any distractions.

  • For those on mobile, holding your phone in landscape would be ideal for the video.

  • Any swearing, profanity, violence, hate speech, indecent images and anything that goes against good community conduct will get you kicked out from the session and a report will be filed with the Local Guides team. You have been warned!

  • This session will be recorded to share at a later date to the public.

Please do not share the Google Meet link (once you get it) to anyone and only use the same email account that you received this invite when you login to the Google Meet call. Any other email account may get blocked from entering as we cannot verify your identity.

Gracias por tener la oportunidad de participar en este gran encuentro @AdrianLunsong y también a @Velvel por coordinar al equipo.

Por otro lado no quiero dejar de olvidar la participación aunque sea en forma de video pero participación, de Carlos Biltrin, un emprendedor del fin del mundo que se animó a montar una fábrica de chocolates en tiempos de pandemia y ahora mandando alegría a Hong Kong y Miami - USA, contando su experiencia de emprendedor.

saludos, desde la Tierra del Fuego :fire_engine: , Farid.

You’re welcome @FaridTDF

I’m sure that the story from Carlos will become an inspiration to our fellow Local Guides :blush:

Can’t wait to that!
