Knowing the way you write, knowing your great photographic skills, now I am excited too, @Marichams
I can't wait to read your November post (or your series) about Connect Live '19
I want only to add a small not.
This is only what we can (NDA) show. For the best, real part, you will have to wait until November. 🙂
Can't wait to meet you

I will have to get my eyes into the NDA! before posting anything, because I can see myself trying to share the world, hahaha.
This pops a question in my mind: I have been telling some Dominican friends and colleagues about the Local Guides program and was planning to do a series of videos to spread that program here, and see if anyone got exited about joining it... In your experience, what do you think I should consider and which warnings should I keep in mind @ErmesT ?

This is a good question @Marichams
How to combine fun and help together?
I gave a short lesson about the program on our last meet-up [RECAP] Slowmotion tra i fiori - #noncalpestareifiori. I didn't realized that @manulele81 was filming (the video is in Italian, sorry) so I was moving around, and the audio in not good.
The idea was to start the experience from the user point of view (searching for a restaurant, watching the photos and reading the reviews) switching then to the Local Guide view, first through the funny aspect (adding photos and reviews) then through the helpful aspect (editing), highlighting the importance of sharing information.
Explaining the meaning of Local (we know the place) Guide (we use our experience for guiding others on the places that we know).
It is also important to know that the fun cannot be a reason for giving wrong, or useless information. We should upload on Maps what we expect to find, so no selfies, no photos of vacation, no long sequences of the same subject, and so on.
On this, we can found a big help on the Local Guides program Help Page
Can't wait to see your video lesson
