W3C 30th anniversary
1 October 2024 was W3C's 30th anniversary. We celebrated at our annual
TPAC
our three decades, advances in the web, the impact of our standards on the world, imagined a bright future, and enjoyed ourselves at an authentic evening of talks and a gala.
TPAC, our major annual event, gathers our community for thought-provoking discussions and coordinated work to advance the invaluable work of our Groups, and resolve challenging technical and social issues that the web faces.
TPAC brings together W3C Members and technical groups, the Board of Directors, the Advisory Board, and the Technical Architecture Group.
