Go rogue at WYSTC 2025

  • Need a break after doing your gazillionth business appointment?
  • Can’t crack a smile after listening to eleventyseven bazillion sales pitches?
  • Ever want to recharge with something completely different?

WYSTC Rogue* is a mini series of pop-up sessions delivered by WYSTC rebels. What will WYSTC rebels talk about? You’ll find out! All we can tell you is that it won’t be the usual.

You work hard. Conferences are tiring. Your feet hurt. There’s a pool and juice bar at the Hyatt. We’ve heard they have a good four-cheese pizza at Vila Gale. It’s tempting to duck out for a change of scene or a ciggie and just keep walking. Don’t leave though – you’ve invested a lot to be here. Plus, we like it when you’re around. Take a break with a WYSTC Rogue session and recharge while learning about some of the amazing people in our community.

Get off the beaten track of business appointments, panel discussions and pastel de nata with WYSTC Rogue. We won’t tell your boss. Heck, your boss might even be a WYSTC rebel. See you there?

*rogue /rəʊɡ/ adj. behaving in ways that are not expected or not normal

WYSTC Rogue

Who is this?

“He’s crossed oceans without packing a bag and launched more adventures than an airline tag.
By daylight, he sends explorers away, by moonlight, he lets his poems play.
Two kinds of journeys, both close to his heart.
One needs a ticket, the other is art.
Who sends students near and far and writes verses that wander afar?”

“He keeps things moving, steady and smart, tackling each task with all his heart.
He brightens the room with a smile and style, he lifts spirits up to the ceiling tiles.
Who sends travellers near and far and sprints through challenges like a star?”

“She opens doors for travellers to sleep, guiding young hearts to meet and greet.
Not only at work do cultures collide, she’s keeping a home with the world inside.
Who welcomes guests from near and far, blending cultures wherever they are?”

“She writes the notes every year
Watching for hands to second the motion, loud and clear.
When the meeting’s adjourned, she listens to walls of sound.
In layers of fuzz, she will gladly drown.
Ask her to smile and she will surely frown, who is this person who’s staring down?”

“She stirs things up with spices and heat, plus serves a page, that’s just as sweet.
Naan-stop service, code and dish, she’s the best chef-webmaster, you’d ever wish.
Biryani and bytes are wonderful treats, who is this lady, oh so neat?”
