You organized a meet-up, connected with other like-minded Local Guides, and shared an exciting experience offline. Now what?

 

Tell us about it, of course! Googlers and Local Guides alike love to learn how the connections you’ve made offline have helped to make your experience as a member of this community even better.

 

Here are some tips for writing a great meet-up recap to share with us on Connect.

 

Tell us the theme of your meet-up

Did you gather to learn how to improve your photo skills? Go on a burger crawl because you’re searching for the perfect one? Add accessibility information to make the map more inclusive? Whatever the reason, include this in your recap and link back to your meet-up announcement post.

 

Describe your experience in detail

Tell us what we missed! Include details that help us better understand what it was like to be at your meet-up. Where did you go? What did you see? Who did you meet?

 

Include great photos

Don’t pass up on an opportunity to show us your photo skills! Only share photos you've taken yourself or have permission from the photographer to use. If there are other people in your photo, be sure they're OK with you posting it.

 

Add links to your contributions

Did your meet-up include writing reviews, taking photos or videos, or creating lists? Share them with us in your recap.

 

Reveal what you learned

Every meet-up is unique. Even if you’ve been to 30 meet-ups, there’s always something new to learn at the next one. Whether you mastered a helpful photo tip or discovered a fun fact about a fellow Local Guide, share your insights with us in your recap.

 

Select the Meet-ups topic

All meet-up recaps should be published under the Meet-ups section on Connect.
