Hi there !
So the LG summit 2018 is on the upcomming October, i personnally never experienced it, but i'd really like to attend that event, it'll be a great experience meeting people from all around the world sharing the same optic, for the same purposes, which is making it easier for people to get around using Gmaps.
Also in case somebody else's interested, just check out the thread below, there's a message about how to take part to the selection .

Hi,
My name is Jonswe and I like the idea of sharing the joy with other soulmates on the ocasion of Local Guides Connect Big Event on Oct.2018.
I have some questions somehow addressed mainly to the management of Google Photos site,in case I would be elligible to participate,like:
-I'll be 67 years of age on next July and from some video clips about the last year's event I gathered that the majority of the participants consisted of YOUNG PEOPLE!
Is there any problem with my age?I mean having to participate to some extreme sports or competitions,kind of stuff?
I am a senior retired man but "still going strong"(if not 100%physically,at least 110% young-at-heart) kind-of-guy.
-Can someone explain to me what is the value scale of your evaluation(badges,kudos,etc) for my work done to the benefit of your organisation?
For me it all started as a kind of joke by saving my amateur photos on Google Photos' site and, now, it all turned into becoming myself member of a world wide organisation where people help each other create a very usefull tool aimed at supporting the modern mankind using Internet on a daily basis.
-I have earned Gave 1 Kudos and the Level 6 badge but,believe it or not,I really don't know why!?!?
I couldn't imagine for a couple of years ago that my retirement hobby (I call it here the photography) could give me the unbelievable feeling of belonging to a huge community having lots of ideas and goals in common to share.
Thank you for that,Google and I am looking for your answer.
Yours sincerely,
Jonswe

Hi @Jonswe there is a good mix of ages across all the people who come to Connect Live (formerly the Summit). Last year the oldest was substantially older than you. You would not be out of place so I strongly encourage you to apply.
Regards Paul

Can anyone elaborate on the Connect Live event. If you have attended one before , what goes on ? What should I expect?

Hello fellas,
Instead of hosting LG summit(connect live ) in U.S.A as always it's better to host in different countries .
Like Street view summit first held in Amsterdam later in Tokyo and now in San Fransisco.
So local guides get opportunities to travel to different countries.
