Turkey's First Virtual Global Meetup Recap

Due to the spread of coronavirus :mask: in Turkey :turkey: , I decided to organize a virtual meetup to share our experiences regarding the last weeks on Google Maps. Therefore, I set up a Google Hangouts Virtual meetup on March 28, Saturday.

Local Guides from Turkey :turkey: , Gambia :gambia: , Bangladesh :bangladesh: , Cyprus :cyprus: , and Colombia :colombia: attended the meetup virtually via Google Hangouts Meet. While enjoying our tea and coffees :coffee: in our homes :house_with_garden: , we talked about temporary product changes in Google Maps, tips and tricks of sharing reviews of small businesses in Istanbul, and across the world :earth_americas: and, of course, participants’ global contributions to the Local Guides program.

Despite 58 local guides :people_holding_hands: applied to the official Google Maps meetup page, a total of 19 local guides connected to our group on Google Hangouts Meet.

I would like to thanks all the local guides who attended our first virtual meetup :slightly_smiling_face:

It was a great meeting; besides the joy of connecting the world from home, it was a good chance to understand the some keys of local guideness. I also relieved about the digital process that we have to face during the Corona days. Thank you Mr. Parmaksiz, hope to come together again within new events. :coffee: :wave:t2:
