Hi all,

Delighted the first ever Google meet up in Gort has been approved. Gort is located on the West Coast of Ireland. I have started to share the event on a few places( FB, Twitter, Google +) So far the only activity I can see is on Facebook.

Interested to find out what I can do( better) to get engagement on the Google side, I am a bit puzzled. Below is the link ( also the time says it is IS time)

Thank your for your tips and experience!

Hello! Thanks for your helping here. So I'm in process of starting the "official" meet-up for St. Pete, Florida. Lucky for me I own and run a wedding and event venue, for about 10 years now, called NOVA535.com so I'm (blushing) kinda good at hosting events. What do I need to do from here to be the official meet up for my home city of St. Pete? My native city. I host a weekly meeting for business owners and entrepreneurs, really anyone who is positive, and so most every Thursday we are at NOVA 535. Open bar, great people and this meetup would fit perfectly alongside. Whether it's part or just before, we can polish those details. I'm eager to always help and make things better for us all. Thanks!

Thanks for your help and support here!

good advice about sharing your time and energy with all your guests, as the shy ones (is that possible for a guide to be shy??) need a bit more 'love" to feel welcome. thanks!
