Today is the official start of Connect Live 2018, an event in the San Francisco Bay Area to celebrate and connect 151 Local Guides from 59 countries. Over the next 2.5 days, we’ve planned exciting events for these Local Guides and created fun opportunities for you to follow along from home, too.

 

Of course, Local Guides have already kicked off the fun by arriving to the area early to explore, like those who attended @PaulPavlinovich's 36 Photo Walk and @ErmesT and @KarenVChin's Clean the World meet-up this morning.

 

If you’re in the Bay Area, you can even join @EmekaUlor on Friday for his accessibility meet-up.

 

Not in the area? Here’s how to get in on the action from home:

Make sure you’re following us on Twitter and Facebook , then watch for our #localguidesconnect hashtag on all social media channels, especially my favorite, Instagram, which is where I’ll be posting regularly.

 

And, of course, we’ll post news and updates right here on Connect.

Greetings to the Local Guides community from beautiful Greece!

 

I had the privilege of being invited to the inaugural event in 2016 when we were informed that there were 5M Local Guides around the world since the program was (re)launched almost a year prior. At last year's event I believe it was announced that there were 50M Local Guides world-wide. How big is the community today?

 

Enjoy Connect Live 2018! Hope to see you in a year or two!
