It was a gathering of enthusiastic Local Guides in Lagos to further connect and share ideas and experience so far on the Local Guides Programme. Held at an upscale eatery in Lagos, the meetup saw in attendance up to 40 amazing Local Guides from across the city. The most colourful activity of the day was the photo session with all attendees appearing in bright colourful shirts, adding glitz and glamour.
Seven speakers made presentations at the event showcasing the essence of Wheelchair Accessibility on Maps, tips on navigating Lagos with the Google Maps, joining StreetView and making the best out of it, writing extended reviews on the Google Maps, Local Guides perks and annual connect event, going green with the Google Maps, as well as organizing meetups effectively.
Not forgetting the photo highlight of the day, our creative photographer Local Guide deployed his drone to capture the moment we had been waiting for. It was truly an exciting time with everyone and we can't wait to see another gathering of very brilliant minds who share interests and passion in helping others.
While the event has ended, the good times shared remain a lasting memory as we further relate and continue to share ideas and help others by making valuable contributions on the Maps, promoting accessibility as much as possible.
We appreciate the efforts of the team who made sure logistics were taken care of. @U-royFelixA @Sayo @HelloSamsonR @Adesholay @bassey @Sagir @SanyaOdare @pwanaduku @Lelekena @EmekaUlor and everyone who attended

I enjoyed every minute spent at #LLGForum18 and amazingly learnt several new things from other speakers. Thank you @Mayford for this recap and more importantly all the sacrifices you made despite your busy academic schedules.
I look forward to the next Lagos Local Guides Forum.
@TraciC, @KarenVChin, @JosephDewey, @ErmesT, @InnocensiaO, @NunungAfuah, @Badruddeen, @Julien44 this recap is worth your attention. Enjoy It!

Just waiting for this recap @Mayford
After all the photos in Instagram by @SanyaOdare.
This seems much more than simply fun, there is a lot of work in here, it is amazing to see how many Local Guides have taken part to the event. I can remember a lot of you not only for being so active in our Community, but also for a personal contact with them at LGSUMMIT17.
Congratulations for the great work
