Objective: Way forward African Local Guides On Google Maps and Connect.
Hurray!!!
This is the chance we have been waiting for and the opportunity necessary to re-ignite the flame of activities on the continent. As agreed, on our discussions behind the scenes we are holding this meet-up. I am quite excited about this. I hope everyone else is excited too !!!
Every continent is particularly different in many ways. The issues and situations are different as well. Therefore, can we say, that this meet-up is uniquely for African local guides. Everyone is welcome though but issues that will be discussed will be as related to local guides activities on the continent in particular. We hope for maximum attendance and participation of everyone.

Merci beaucoup, cher @SholaIB . On a aimé l’initiative, et nous serons de la partie pour cette journée mémorable pour l’Afrique. Seulement je n’ai pas vu mon pays.
Je m’excuse beaucoup le dessin ne permet pas de montrer tout les drapeaux. C’est ma faute quand même ne te fâche pas. On va te donner le temps alors de nous parler de la Guinée .
Sinon tu es un de nos espoir de local guide d’Afrique sur connect. A très bientôt mon frère.
Thank you very much for the invitation, I am very excited for this meeting! I welcome and thank all the people who contribute to this beautiful initiative, and thanks are extended to the owners and founders of this initiative for their efforts.
Hi @SholaIB, this looks like another massive and incredible initiative! The poster for the V.Connect All Africa Meet-up looks absolutely stunning and full of life.
It’s amazing to see how you continuously work towards bringing Local Guides from across the continent together to discuss the way forward for Google Maps. Sending you and everyone attending my absolute best wishes for a highly successful event!
I think the project I’m working on could be quite useful for your meetups, helping to spread ideas and bring new openness through new conversation technology across languages.
