As it looks like you are new on Connect, why don't you explore the many topic labels and check out the conversations happening among other Local Guides? You can tell us a bit more about yourself in our monthly topic Introduce Yourself - January 2019.
You can take a look at 14 helpful tips for using Connect, where you will find great tips and various ways to engage with the community.
You can host your own meet-ups by planning it here. Also have a look at this post How to Organize a Local Guides Meet-Up which gives you helpful ideas on the types of activities you can plan and some guidance and tips for helping you organize a successful event for yourself and the Local Guides in your area!
Just to let you know that I relabeled your post to Meet-ups as it fits better there.
