Regional Google Local Guides Summits

[#1]

I was a part of the last year's Google Local Guides Summit and it was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot and get to know people around the globe. What I loved most is, I found life long friends who will be there for you from around the world. 

As I noticed this will only provide an opportunity to 150 local guides(in 2017 edition) from around the world. It will be difficult to provide a chance for lots of local guides who are contributing to the Google Maps to help others. I saw some local guides had issues in getting visa to USA last year

What I am suggesting is to have few regional summits before or after the main summit. For example an Asian-Pacific and European summits would be ideal. This will provide chance to more local guides to participate and get a recognition for their contribution. 

What do you think @LucioV @OSAMA @HelloSamsonR @U-royFelixA @deepakjhic @MahabubMunna @ShafiulB

Beginning with 2017, Google started to organize Top Contributor Summits the same way; regionally. For Europeans, it was held in Dublin. 

Yes, I also support this idea as the real chances for a LG to get to the summit is pretty low. This way travel (and supposedly other costs like hotel and food) could also be much lower.

@AnuradhaP, please don't tag other users to ask for their opinion, as some of them are not part of the Idea Exchange beta.

[AnuradhaP]

@LuisRG Sure. I checked before tagging whether they are a part of this beta testing. Isn't it a part of testing (check whether we can tag the LGs) I think :). I will not do it again.
