Thecommunities around Google products and serviceshave been growing tremendously over the last couple of years. It is inspiring and motivating for
us to see how many users like you contribute to Google Forums. For some time, we´ve been thinking
of ways to thank ourTop Contributors—our most the passionate, helpful, friendly, and active users. These TCs have demonstrated
incredible commitment to our communities and continue to share their profound knowledge by
answering user questions within the forums.
TCs from all over the world will attend our first global summit in California.
We decided to give the online world a break for a moment and meet in real life to celebrate our
past success and work on future endeavours. Google Forum Guides, Googlers that participate in the
forums, and Top Contributors will convene for the firstglobal Top Contributor Summiton September 13th and 14th in Santa Clara and Mountain View, California. During the
Google-organized two-day event, Top Contributors will meet guides, engineers and product managers
in order to get to know each other, provide feedback and share new ideas. We'll be sharing some of
the insights and takeaways after the event too, so stay tuned. And if you would like to follow the
