Welcome to our community!

Write the Docs is a global community of people who care about documentation. Our primary gathering places are:

• Our slack network with thousands of members
• Conferences on 3 continents
• Local meetups in over 30 cities

We consider everyone who cares about communication, documentation, and their users to be a member of our community. This can be programmers, tech writers, developer advocates, customer support, marketers, and anyone else who wants people to have great experiences with software.

Our conferences create a time and a place for the global community of Documentarians to share information, discuss ideas, and work together to improve the art and science of documentation.
