[Virtual] India, March 16, Ghumakkad Gossip: Local Guides Community and Connect Overview

Welcome friends to Episode-4 of the Ghumakkad Gossip meet-up series.

It is going to be an experiential meet-up where the invited Guest Speaker will talk about the selected topic. Attendees are requested to share their thoughts (if any) in advance in the comment section so that the speaker will address those points during the meet-up. This way the flow of the meet-up will be maintained.

We have kicked off this series of meet-ups first with the most talked about topic Supporting Small Businesses. The Responses and Reactions of the GG kick off meet-up was quite positive.

This episode is dedicated to overview of Local Guides Community and Local Guides Connect Forum. This year, we are celebrating 10 Years of Local Guides, therefore it becomes more important for everyone here to know the genesis of our LG community and the Connect forum. And to enlighten on this topic I can’t even think of any other Guest Speaker than the one who is the Accessibility Champion, Meet-up Champion, two times Guiding Star, the Connect Moderator - Naresh Darji. He has humbly accepted my (on your behalf) invite to join us in GG Meet-up series with his in-depth wisdom on the topic. So, please block your calendar and get ready for the amazing session. Don’t forget to share your queries (if any) in advance so that we will have the structured discussion with him around your queries.

Even if it has reached to a single person’s heart, I feel that the objective of this initiative is met. I am thrilled to see your progression post our Kick off episode of Ghumakkad Gossip meet-up series. More importantly your acknowledgement fuels me with the energy to further strengthen the concept and to take it to the wider audience. Thanks so much @K.K.Sharma.

I have noted down your question and will include this in our Gossip with our beloved Guest Speaker @NareshDarji on 16-March-2025.
