We took Connect Live to Tokyo!

Former Google Contributor

Since 2016, Local Guides around the world have joined us in San Francisco for an exciting event filled with inspiring talks and fun activities. During the event, attendees learn tips from Googlers, share their own insights, and get advanced access to new features we’re working on. The event has given us the opportunity to celebrate and connect with our global community in-person.

 

Local Guides in Tokyo showed so much enthusiasm for Connect Live this year that we decided to surprise them with a pop-up event just for them!

We invited Local Guides based on a variety of criteria including level, types of contributions, and activity on Connect.

They listened to a panel discussion from Googlers who work on Maps and got answers to their most pressing questions about the LG program. Afterward, they enjoyed a sake tasting, participated in a food photography workshop, and more! Check out more photos from the event here.

This year, we may show up in your city, too. So, stay tuned!

Local Guides of Tokyo are really lucky. I wish if I could attend such an event.

 

Many of us from Bangladesh missed the last two summit for visa issues. It will make our dream come true if we have an event like this in Bangladesh.
