On May 28th 2026, WTS will be 7 years old!

This community has grown into something truly special, and that’s because of you – I am so grateful to each and every one of you.

I also want to extend my gratitude to our amazing WTSPartners. Their support allows us to keep this community, and our initiatives free; they fund sponsorship tickets to our WTSFest conferences; and they offer a wide range of opportunities for our members.

To celebrate turning 7, we’re hosting WTSGlobal, a community-first week of connection, reflection, and appreciation.

Read on for more details about what’s happening, and how to get involved.

You can organise whatever type of meet-up most appeals to you.

Whether that’s an:

• In-person or virtual coffee

All we ask is that anything you organise is free to attend; and that you adhere to the WTS Way.
