Tu post @StephenAbraham, es simplemente hermoso, reflexionar sobre si fuimos elegidos dentro de los 151, para los que no son escogidos, queda un sabor amargo en la boca, pero hoy por hoy como será el Connect Live, creo que estar o no estar, no será casi notado, por el título del evento 🤔 creo que podremos asistir a muchos de ellos en forma virtual, por eso es muy importante que sigamos a Connect en las distintas redes como Facebook, Twitter, Instagram y YouTube, todas estas, marcaran el pulso de los acontecimientos en San Francisco🌁 los días 16, 17 y 18 de Octubre.
En mi caso en las dos anteriores LGS16 y LGS17 decidí no participar, por razones particulares, pero me centi muy contento y entusiasmado con todo lo realizaron los si estaban allá, con la LGS17, no sentí que no estaba, las actualizaciones que realizaba @MaxWalsh permanentemente me hacía viajar a SF con el resto de los que estaba allí.
A si que sintamos contentos de los que van 😀 y los que no lo vemos y sentimos por medio de las redes y las transmisiones en vivió del encuentro...🍀

For the case that has difficulty, in reading my answer, in the upper right part of the screen, in the drop-down menu of languages, you can select the language, in which you want to read the post.
@BudionoS I think Indonesia has many great Local Guides community. From so many different cities. How many were there from Indonesia in 2016 and 2017 for Summit?
I think this year, the number of applicants will be many more. We should take a guess on the number. I would say at least 25,000 this year applied. 🙂
Yes . we came from different cities and different culture.

@StephenAbraham, wonderful post. Interesting question you are asking.
For me, I apply every year with the idea to show why I love being a Local Guide and why I want to attend the yearly BiG Global Local Guides event. I have fun creating my application videos because I get the chance share my story and learn new video making skills.
As someone who has been very lucky to be invited now three times, I don’t take for granted or assume that I will automatically receive an invite because of past experiences, I am a Connect Moderator, or that I live locally.
My advice is the same as yours - always have fun being a Local Guide. Do good and put up useful, correct information (reviews, answer the auto Google Maps questions, edit, take high quality informative photos, etc.), have or attend meetups, be helpful to your fellow Local Guides both on Connect and in your local LG community, and be active on Connect with quality content.
Don’t get hung up if you didn’t get an invite. It’s not the end of the world.
I know this may sound strange from someone who has been invited every year. But like you and many LGs who were invited to last year’s Local Guides Summit 17 who did not get invited to the first year’s Local Guides Summit 16, if you don’t keep applying you will never know the next time there is a Connect Live could be the time you do receive that invite, the “golden ticket.”
Also threatening to or quilting the Local Guides Program because you did not receive an invite means, in my personal opinion, you sign up to become a Local Guide for the wrong reasons. You are not a truly a Local Guide and should stop being one in my opinion.
if i never get the opportunity to attend a future Connect Live, I won’t take it personally. I am proud of my past accomplishments and will continue to root, help, and encourage my fellow Local Guides to hopefully get the chance to go with no hurt feelings and to be the best Local Guides that they can be.
