2024 Wrap-Up
Guild Meetings
DVWG began doing hybrid meetings in 2020, though started out of necessity, it is now a standard function of our guild. The technology allows us to host top-notch speakers and industry professionals and grow our membership around the world from anywhere there's an Internet connection. It also allows us to record the meetings and the video replays can be found at the bottom of each meeting post or through our YouTube channel. The most recent meeting(s) may not have the replays posted yet!
Meetings are held on the third Saturdays from January through October at 9:30AM Pacific Time.
