Today we’re announcing a new meet-up site to Local Guides Level 4+ and past meet-up hosts. We’re excited to give you the chance to try it out and submit a meet-up of your own. We want to make sure the site shows a diverse mix of meet-ups when we share it with Local Guides globally in a couple of weeks. Getting your meet-up featured on the new site will be a great way for other Local Guides to find out more about you and your local community.
So what’s new? A lot!
We’ll begin reviewing meet-up submissions now. Those that are submitted and approved in the next two weeks will appear on the site when we notify all Local Guides globally.
Check out the new site at g.co/localguides/meetup and let us know what you think in the comments below.

HI @HelloJess I've noticed a problem while submitting any meet up to the calendar. The date and time got changed automatically.
I submitted a meet up scheduled as 19th Feb, 2017 12:00pm-4:00pm, But when I checked that appearing in the calendar, it was showing 11:30am-2:30pm. Is that a problem or Google Moderators do this change for any particular reason. Please take a look at this problem.

Hi @Sovon - In your submission I see you indicated 12 pm to 4 pm, but on your Google+ Event it shows 11:30 am to 2:30 pm (in the "Details" section). We typically put whatever time is listed on your event page since that's what your advertising to Local Guides. Do you want me to change it to 12-4 pm?

The new meet-up submission for and the listing is very nice.
Today I tried to submit a meet-up and after filling everything, I could not find a good photo to upload for the cover. I want to save what I have already entered as a draft and upload a photo later and submit the form. This feature is not avialble.
It would be helpful for local guides if there is an option to save a draft of the meet-up submission form.

@AnuradhaP Thanks, we are glad you are liking it so far! We will pass along the draft option request, but its not part of the current scope/launch of this platform. Perhaps in a future iteration 🙂

Hi @HelloJess First of all sorry for replying late.
Actually when I created that meet up, I scheduled that 12pm-4pm. But when I checked the calendar I seen the time was 11:30am-2:30pm. So I changed the event time to match the calendar and then posted about it on LG Connects.
But everything is okay now. 🙂

@Corrie 30 characters for meet-up name is not enough. In Sri Lanka we are having long city names like Anuradhapura, Batticaloa, Siyambalanduwa, etc.... If we put a name of city for meet-up name there won't be enough space for write something meaningful. 🙂
