Hi @marufsbd actually there are no info about #lgsummit18.

At the end of #lgsummit17 a countdown with some info shown and we discussed here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Are-you-ready-for-lgsummit18/m-p/501246

But this information is updated and has been retired.

Hello @marufsbd

In 2017, the requirements were as follows:

Applications were open only to Local Guides Level 5 during the application period.

Applicants were selected based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

The submission of a complete application with the following requirements:

• Each Local Guide must submit a 1-minute video message, appearing on camera to share reasons for applying
• Each Local Guide must submit a post on Local Guides Connect with an introductory message and more insights into his or her experience with the program

In addition,

• High quality, well-rounded and consistent contributions to Google Maps in the past 12 months
• Consistent involvement with the Local Guides community such as being a supported community moderator, Connect moderator, meet-up host and active Connect contributor
• The ability to understand and speak English
• Age at least 21 years old prior to the Summit. That is because 21 is the legal drinking age in the United States and alcohol will be present at some events.

The selection criteria for the next summit will be published in Local Guides Connect when  the event is announced.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Melbin Mathew
