2022
Time flies when you’re having fun! We’re thrilled to announce that this month marks five years of Connect. We launched this forum, exclusively for you all in the Local Guides community, in July 2016. Since then, we’ve been through so much change, but one thing remains constant: the dedication of our community.
To celebrate this milestone, we have an entire month of interactive content and fun surprises planned for you. But first, let’s take a quick walk down memory lane.
When we first launched Connect, it looked like this:
Thanks to excellent ideas from many of you in the community, we’ve added numerous new features and sections since then. Now, we’ve evolved into a platform that looks like this:
We’re so grateful that you’ve all taken this journey with us. To say thank you and kick off our celebration, we’re giving a shiny new badge to everyone who is registered on Connect. These will start rolling out soon. Any new Local Guides who join Connect before the end of the month will also get it, so spread the word to your friends.
This is the first of many posts we'll share this month reflecting on the past five years. In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you about your favorite Connect memories.
