main Connect Live 2019 event can only accept 200 participants out of millions of local guides
satellite Connect Live events number 3 or 4. Total coverage = 3 countries/cities?
Many countries, mine included, haven't had a local event for years. Many of my local guides have come and dropped out, and newer ones came onto the programme, but they have had no to little exposure, news and sharing. They don't see anything happening and it is boring.
Lack of concrete/physical/usable perks for most countries
Googlers are very busy people, and do not have time to travel to all the countries and have events in every country
Google doesn't have a big budget to have big event in all cities
Local Guides Connect is difficult to use and understand
Proposed solution
Let's send our esteemed Connect Moderators to other countries to
hold a mini event
share their experience / tips / explain how to use Connect
Aim to cover 50 to 100 additional countries or cities or communities per year.
Resolve problem of low number of events
Resolve problem of limited manpower
It'll be a low cost gathering / dinner sharing / round table for a few local guides.
Cost: dinner for 10-12 people at a fun restaurant or eatery, flight and accommodation for one Connect Moderator.
