In a recent post, @TiffanyBnyc shared the journey of Local Guides leading up to its 10th-anniversary celebration. She is also curious to know about our most memorable community moments and our expectations for the 10th-anniversary year, i.e., 2025.
I’m excited to share my memorable moments and expectations!
My Memorable Community Moments
- Receiving the Google Maps Pin in May 2023.
- On January 17, 2025, meeting @TusharSuradkar ji during a virtual meetup where he addressed the participants’ queries. After this meetup I started supporting Micro and Small Businesses.
- Feeling delighted when I read in an email 126
, 9:pray:, 1:slightly_smiling_face: for my reviews.
Looking Forward to 2025
- A physical meetup with @TusharSuradkar and @NareshDarji
- Hoping for a physical meetup-cum-training program covering all features of Google Maps and Connect, along with an introduction to a writing tool

—because I tend to present things “to the point, without much elaboration!”

Hearty congratulations @K.K.Sharma on your memorable moments. You are helping the community in a bigger way.
Just to correct here, after 8 PM the extended discussion was there only for those who wanted to stay and have a chat with the Guest Speaker and the meet-up Moderator. The scheduled meet-up was ended at 8 PM.
