Virtual meet-ups round-up: July 4 to July 5

Since the introduction of the virtual meet-ups, Local Guides have been hosting more and more of them to connect with each other. Now that Google Meet is free for everyone, you can host meet-ups with even more participants.

This week, we rounded up some of the best upcoming virtual events to celebrate the great meet-up ideas and initiatives Local Guides are hosting around the world. If you’re interested in attending one of the meet-ups, you can RSVP directly on the page, but please only do so if you’re attending.

Here are our picks for the week from July 4 through July 5 , 2020.

This isn’t a full list of the meet-ups @ogewuru there are loads of them, this is a highlight bunch that the Googlers collected to highlight to the community. I’m sure yours will be awesome too.

You could lead a Spanish speakers workshop series @Jesi - how awesome would that be?

Anyone who would like to make their own local version I am happy to give you all the material that you can translate. I’ve released it all under CC-BY-NC which means you can do that as long as money isn’t made from it.
