Lesson leanrt from the organization of my first local guide Meet-Up

[JeanRV]

I am happy that my first Meet-Up has been validated to day.

The Meet-Up is on the 18th (the day after to-morrow). I have tried to prepare a convenient meeting: a place easy to find and next to public transportation; the Meet-Up is made of two optional parts: a lunch and photo walk .

I have just started the advertising two hours ago, therefore it is not a surprise that I am still the only participant. My first first lesson is: plan early.

Too bad, I'm sure a lot of Local Guides from the community would have loved to join, especially considering there aren't a lot of meet-ups in the city. 

The best way for it to be seen is to post it on the Google + community page. 

Cheers !

Hi Jean, 

Thank you for organizing a meet-up, too bad it didn't work out, especially since Paris doesn't get a lot of meet-ups. 
It's true that the best way to organize a successful one is to prepare it in advance. And for maximum visibility, you can post it on the Google + community page. 

You can also follow these steps if you need some advice :

Hello Juliette,

Thanks for your comments.

I am very happy to have organized this Meet-Up, the lunch was pleasant and I have learnt a few tricks, for example advice from  François on how to write a good post on  Google + community page.

Cheers
