Last year I was selected by Google out of thousands of applicants to attend Connect Live 2019 at their main campus in San Jose, CA. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Connect Live is an annual summit organized by Google for 200 of the top Google Maps contributors from around the world.

What do the contributors do you ask? They help make Google Maps better through adding things (reviews, photos, locations) onto the map, editing info to make it more accurate, etc.

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity where I got to meet new friends, learn about upcoming tech initiatives from Googlers, share ideas with other top contributors, and celebrate all things Local Guides! You can learn more about my experience below.
