What we’re about
We are Write the Docs PDX, a group for writers, designers, developers, learning professionals, and technology enthusiasts in the Portland area who share a passion for all things documentation.
Join us for remote and in-person meetups to build community through conversations, presentations, and a common interest in using language to create great experiences for users.
For any inquiries, concerns, or to request an invitation to the chapter’s email listserv, send an email to wtdpdxmeetup@gmail.com. No one regularly monitors the Meetup messaging inbox.
