Thank you for submitting your Connect Live application

Update, 6/13/18: All 151 selected applicants have been notified about their status and all remaining Local Guides will hear about their status by June 20th.

Over the coming days everyone who applied for this year’s Local Guides event, Connect Live 2018, will receive an email about whether or not they have been selected to attend. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for submitting their applications and let you know how much fun the team had in reviewing the thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of applications.

We have selected 151 Local Guides to represent the global community at Connect Live 2018. That’s right: you heard it here first that we selected an extra Local Guide to share information back with the community!

Every person selected was carefully reviewed by the team and chosen for a very special reason. While some may not share their status just yet, we ask you to be patient as they work through their excitement — and the details.

Overall, it was inspiring to see how committed many of you are to the Local Guides community on top of making fantastic contributions to Google Maps: helping your local community by adding new places, creating lists to help others exploring your area, and hosting meet-ups to connect locally, just to name a few. It was fun learning about your specific passions, too. Whether you were one of the vegan foodies, accessibility champions, or rappers (yes, there were rappers!), you help to keep Connect a warm and welcoming place for Local Guides no matter where in the world you may call home.

I’m proud to be a Local Guide and I look forward to seeing our global community grow over the coming weeks, months, and years, especially here on Connect.

Keep an eye on #LocalGuidesConnect here on Connect and on social media to hear what folks are saying about this year’s event!

Keep your positive attitude up! I'm moving your topic to the post @Julien44 mentioned (thank you, Jul). 

[BudiFXW]

Thank you @Vasudeo.

[srzstha45]

@NadyaPN i havent received any email yet. By when this email is going to come

[raviranjan9973]

20 June is coming

[bdmafuz]

Hi @raviranjan9973 we will wait until 20 Jun. Let see what happens before that date.

[PaulPavlinovich]

Hi @raviranjan9973 @bdmafuz the first round of invitations have gone out as Googler Traci announced on 13/06. Don't lose hope though as some of those people may not be able to attend because their circumstances have changed or they are not able to get a visa. 

I will merge this with the announcement post to keep Connect tidy.

Regards Paul

[NadyaPN]

Hi @srzstha45,

As others already shared, please stay tuned and you should receive an email by 20th June.

[srzstha45]

By whom those 150 lucky LGs chosen? Are they chosen by google moderators like u or other google team?

[bdmafuz]

Thanks @PaulPavlinovich for your information. I am waiting for mail. I am trying to contribute my best.

[PaulPavlinovich]

Hi @Rcostaval as Googler TraciC posted on 13/06 all 151 invitations have gone out to the people who have been invited. Don't lose hope though just yet. They have until June 20th to respond and to register. Some of them may have changed their circumstances or be unable to get a visa which means that other people will be invited. Good luck.

I'll move this to the main thread to keep Connect tidy.

Regards Paul
