WHAT ARE MEGA MEETUPS?

A yearly event planned and organized by Waze for the Map Editor, Beta, and Localization Communities.

Mega Meetups are a 2.5 day event:

• Day 1 (Friday ) - arrival day: Check-in to the hotel, group dinner.
• Day 2 (Saturday) - Meetup day 1: Usually lasts about 8 hours and ends with a social gathering.
• Day 3 (Sunday) - Meetup day 2: Usually lasts 4 hours and ends with a social gathering. Hotel check-out.
• All days will have mingling time, workshops, presentations, and - of course - discussion panels to make sure ALL your questions are answered ;-)
• NOTE that this schedule may vary slightly based on Community needs\ requests.

WHAT ARE THE GOALS?

• Focus on diverse content and deep dives into important cross-functional topics.
• Hear and share diverse ideas from the Map Editor, Beta, and Localization Communities.
• Strengthen bonds between community members (see who's behind their username!)
• Create cross-learning opportunities for both Waze Staff and Community Members.
• Community Leadership and Waze Staff to get to know each other.
• Hear feedback and discuss challenges.

WHO IS INVITED?
