Hello @YasinHossainRakib ,

Welcome to Connect!

You can follow the tips that other fellow Local Guides kindly shared with you.

I am marking @Raphael-Mahumane 's reply as a solution, so other Local Guides can refer to it. The purpose of this feature is to help Local Guides find answers when searching on the Connect. Please take a look at How do I mark comments as solutions? article.

You can also take a moment to recap meet-ups such as South Asian New Year Celebration Virtual Meetup 2020

and Women in Local Guides v:2 Virtual Meetup that @MahabubMunna organizes.

You can take a look at Tips for hosting virtual meet-ups where you can find all the information that you need to submit a virtual meet-up. If you want to see the most recent meetups, you can also take a look at Virtual meet-ups round-up.
