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!

This is awesome @brittym, the Japanese local guides community especially the Tokyo local guides are very passionate about maps,  they truly deserved having connect live in Tokyo!

 

We have a very active Local guides community in Hyderabad, india and had the video team shoot a few videos with us on our city's food, culture, shopping etc.

@brittym The perfect way forward, so we can involve more local Local Guides around the region, above just the central annual Connect Live summit, so regional members don't feel left out. Absolutely great to see this. Hope to see more events like this in the near future.
