Empowering Voices: Strengthening Collaboration with Internal Technical Writer Meetups

What to do when internal knowledge bases and team meetings aren’t enough to align your team and boost professional growth?

In a mid-sized, highly distributed company, I realised that internal meetups could be the missing piece for fostering shared vision and raising the overall professional level. My journey began with a simple question: "Do technical writers even need meetups?"

In this talk, I’ll share my experience of organising informal, optional meetups that encourage cross-departmental participation. I’ll explore how such gatherings can become a powerful onboarding tool and a practical way to build a backlog of tasks addressing the team’s pressing concerns.

Join me to discover how these meetups can create a collaborative environment that not only enhances knowledge sharing but also makes problem-solving a collective effort.
