Yearly Google Sponsored Meet-up

We Can Have a Google Sponsored Meet-up yearly hosted by the Googlers in our communities. This can be done prior before the Summit always held at San Francisco or after, whatever way works for Google, am sure either before or after,  the community will appreciate them. 

 

This will help spur and also motivate Local Guides who might not be selected to attend the Summit Google do organize in San Fransisco. We can have the Googlers visit our communities and hold sponsored meetup  aimed at Knowledge sharing of the Google Maps and the Local Guides program. I know perfectly well this will be beneficial to the community and also to  the Googlers. Local Guides could get to meet some of the amazing Googlers who moderate this community in person. Googlers too will also have the opportunity to Travel, explore and visit different cities and also meet some of the Local Guides whom they interact with virtually as well. Am sure this won't cost anything.

e.g I Have seen some Googlers go on an adventure to look for Biryani in thier community, how about them trying out some new adventure like tasting the Nigerian Jollof ? Have a meet-up and roll out the invites to Local Guides

In like manner this can be done as well, having Photowalks, map edit walks, food crawl, accessibility meetups etc. All sponsored, you can also make great videos from such meet-ups as well to keep the social space more of in a Local Guides activities.

 

Hi Team, I hope this few points of mine can see this idea implemented.Caption a cross section of Local Guides from all over the world enjoying coffee and taking group photos during a joint global meetup eventCaption a cross section of Local Guides from all over the world enjoying coffee and taking group photos during a joint global meetup event

Brilliant idea. It will be a win win situation for Google and the Local Guides if this idea gets implemented.

@HelloSamsonR I guess it would increase the inspiration for our Communities and what your saying  is a good idea, but  I know there are lots of Local Guides not on Connect that would love to ask a few questions from each of them in Summery if there's say 50 Local Guides in one Community with 3 Questions So 3 questions X 50 Local Guides = 150 how much time to answer 50 Local Guides Questions Personally and that times Communities around the World?

Totally in support of this. a local summit sounds great especially for guides who don't get to attend the San francisco summit.

Currently some LG don't know they are, programs like this would help create a positive awareness more so make contributors understand that contributions are made by us and for us. 

Nigerians are food loving people, this would not just promote our food but show the rich culture, furthermore it would help business owners to be on their toes knowing that reviews are impacting their business. 

Good job @HelloSamsonR
