What is Write the Docs?
Write the Docs is a global community of people who care about documentation: Programmers, Tech Writers, Customer Support, Designers, Project Managers, Developer Advocates, and anyone else who wants people to have a great experience with software.
Created in 2013 in Portland, Oregon, WTD has hosted conferences around the world in Prague, Sydney, Amsterdam, London, and Melbourne.

Past attendees have said
The most exciting part of attending Write the Docs is collaborating with open-source projects, networking, and meeting great people who care about documentation –you get to engage in incredible conversations and learn from fellow documentarians!
By attending Write The Docs, I met so many documentation professionals, discovered new opportunities, and learned how to address problems I had yet to face before I faced them. It's clear how much the organizers care about running a thoughtful, inclusive conference, and they do so successfully -- I look forward to it every year.
