A World Community
Google recently held its second annual Local Guides Summit, which brought the top contributing Local Guides from around the world to San Francisco. The event had 150 total attendees from 62 countries – double the number from last year’s event. For a platform only in its third year, hosting an event with such a vast worldwide audience speaks volumes for its quick rise in popularity and global reach.
Google Local Guides community is not made up of just Millennials, they’re people from across the world who are trying to help contribute and, in many cases, take a great deal of pride in their work as a Local Guide.
