[Virtual] Italy, July 15, LGConnectTurns10: Celebrating 10 Years in our Global Village! - Virtual Meet-up

Hello Local Guides, it’s time to party!!! :partying_face:

Exactly 10 years ago, on July 15th, Local Guides Connect was born. It is a one-of-a-kind community—probably Google’s only truly “Social” community—created to allow Local Guides from all over the world to connect and interact with one another.

A community that, many years ago, I chose to name “The Global Village”.

As we announced back in May, @KarenVChin and I are waiting for you on Wednesday, July 15th, to virtually celebrate this incredibly special milestone together.

Given the significance of July 15th for our community, we’ve prepared a little surprise. For now, it’s a secret, but when you join us, I’m certain you won’t be able to help but be left absolutely speechless! :open_mouth:

Join us for the party!

To celebrate together on such a special day, we chose a time that accommodates as much of the planet as possible. We apologize to those who will have to get up early or stay up late to join; to give the majority of people the chance to participate, the meet-up will take place at 3:00 PM GMT.

Here is what that means for your local time:

  • San Francisco (Karen’s home!): 8:00 AM

  • New York: 11:00 AM

  • Italy: 5:00 PM

  • India: 8:30 PM

  • Tokyo: Midnight

We can’t wait to see everyone there to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Local Guides Community together!

Looking forward to the festivities… and the surprise!?
Do we need to wear anything special?
Should we each get a candle to blow out at the same time? HAHA
