What we learn, share, and build together

As part of the WTS Global Week celebrations, join Yoast and Women in Tech SEO for a special online coffee chat celebrating two incredible community milestones: 7 years of WTS and 16 years of Yoast.

SEO has always been more than algorithms, rankings, and updates; it’s built through people sharing ideas, supporting one another, and learning together. In this relaxed and inspiring session, Carolyn Shelby, Samah Nasr, and Areej AbuAli will reflect on the power of community in shaping careers, building confidence, and helping the SEO industry grow into a more collaborative and inclusive space.

Have you ever wondered where SEO professionals really learn beyond courses and documentation? Or how people find mentors, supportive communities, and opportunities to grow in the industry? Maybe you’re just starting out and trying to figure out which resources are actually worth your time.

Together, we’ll talk about how community creates learning opportunities, opens doors for newcomers, and provides the support people need to grow in SEO. Expect practical tips, career insights, honest experiences, and advice for those looking to deepen their involvement in the industry and connect with others in the space.

The session will include a 30-minute community chat followed by a live Q&A with attendees, giving everyone the chance to join the conversation and share their perspectives.
