Over 100 Googlers from across Google participated in the event, whether it was by hosting a talk or by attending our daily Googler Office Hours where Local Guides could bring their issues and ideas directly to the product manager working on that area.

 

Over the course of the two days, attendees participated in their choice of four sessions, chosen out of 19 topics in total which ranged from Make Your Own Street View, to Shaping the Future of Map Editing, to Local Guides Helping Local Businesses.

While we hosted three parties in total—and wow, were they fun—we debuted the Local Guides Lounge, a place where they could gather to play games, share ideas, and get to know each other even better.

 

Attendees and Googlers have shared an incredible amount of photos and posts using #localguidesconnect, and we thank you for following along with us. If you haven’t yet, head on over to your favorite social media platform to see the event through their eyes.

 

Thank you for following along and I hope you’ll enjoy seeing more information from Connect Live 2018 over the coming weeks!
