#Global Masters

Hi Community!
We hope you have an exciting and inspirational summer (or winter, depending on where are you located)! 

Today we launch the Inquisitive Summer on the Developer Community. Which means:

Hi Developers!

We're happy to announce the first Developers Random Coffee launched on Global Masters. The idea is to create new impactful connections between Developer Community members. 

The mechanic is simple:

✅ You will receive a direct message on Global Masters with the name of your Random Coffee partner and link to his/her GM profile.

✅ Your task is to message your partner and schedule 15-min online call to get to know each other.

✅ Don't forget to take a screenshot of the online call meeting - you will be able to upload it in the challenge and get 500 bonus points on Global Masters! 

Ready to join Random Coffee in July? Complete >> this challenge << till July 19!

Hi Community!
As you know, this year Global Summit is back in-person. We really want to see everyone there! 

Not all of the Community members can attend (me either!), so we decided to produce a cool VIDEO with Greetings from Our Community Members 🎥 
Let's join virtually this great event from all around the World!🌏 

⬆️ Upload in this challenge a short (2-3 sec) VIDEO of you saying "Hi from your country🙌" to our Community Members. So, we could combine it with the other videos from our members and present it on Global Summit 2022. You can also just send me a link to a shared file in DM.

Deadline: June 18, Friday, till the end of the day!

See you there!

Hi Community, 
We prepared a fun online game for those who will be at the Global Summit in-person, and those new members who will join the Community at the event. If you are at the Summit but do not see the game - please let me know, I will add you 
You can enter the game and grab the prizes right at the Developer Community booth - 5th Floor, Tech Exchange room.

Enter to win some nice prizes: Bellroy Computer Backpack, Umbrella, Amazon Kindle, Apple AirPods Pro, Coursera subscription and others!
