Beyond Dreams & Reality: The Making of WAC’s Grand 13th Anniversary

On the 17th of August 2025, the Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty became the venue for a historic milestone in WAC’s journey, as we celebrated our 13th anniversary and hosted the momentous Technology and Marketing Summit 2025. More than just an anniversary celebration or a preview of the upcoming gigantic WAC Beyond 1.0, it was a grand celebration of connection, collaboration, and innovation. The event stands as a clear testament to what’s possible when passion and dedication meet teamwork.

What made the event truly remarkable was not just what happened on the stage or in the venue, but the story of sweat and hard work that happened behind the scenes. Every detail of the 13th anniversary celebration was crafted “in-house”, right from planning to execution. There were no event managers, planners, or outsourced agencies involved. The 400+ strong WAC family members came together as one and made the extraordinary event alive. 

“Something big is on the way, lots to do, and we have only started,” stated our CEO, Jilu Joseph, as a flag-off statement to the upcoming WAC Beyond 1.0 event. And with the 13th anniversary celebration, we indeed proved that it wasn’t just a promise, but a big vision that is built on commitment. Within a span of just 13 days, our teams poured their hearts into conceptualizing, designing, and executing every aspect of the event, leaving no room for errors or gaps.

From planning the event flow to guest handling, hospitality, and food, every aspect was mapped out with precision. Our in-house design team and extensive PR strategy made sure that each print, visual, and digital asset reflected the summit’s unique identity and spoke for itself. Our photography and videography team worked enthusiastically to capture each moment, each frame, providing the world with a preview of the strong-rooted spirit of WAC and its 13 year old inspiring journey. The storytelling began right from the pre-event campaigns and continued long after the lights dimmed on the stage, through active post-event promotions.

Hence, every corner of WAC, right from strategists, marketers, designers, developers, and coordinators, joined in the mission and were successful in delivering a warm, personalized, and flawless experience, which turned out to be an extravaganza that Kerala has never witnessed before. 

Our Founder and MD, Abin Jose Tom, emphasised the spirit of WAC in managing the whole grand event without much external intervention. With immense pride, he expressed that the event is proof of the WAC spirit that speaks volumes about the sense of belongingness and togetherness each of us carries in our hearts. Each member of the family contributed their part sincerely and helped stitch a spectacular whole that showcased to the world what a united team can achieve.

Our CEO, Jilu Joseph, also reflected on the journey with utmost happiness and wrote on her Instagram handle: “The WAC Beyond Technology & Marketing Summit 2025 was an unparalleled success. A huge thank you to our amazing guests, well-wishers, and participants for their trust and enthusiasm. What truly astonishes me is that our Webandcrafts team conceptualized, planned, and executed this groundbreaking event in Kerala within an unbelievable 13 days! The numbers speak for themselves. This is just the start of something even bigger!”

The 13th anniversary celebration of WAC was not just an event; it was an incredible journey that took us beyond boundaries, beyond expectations, and beyond what we thought was possible. Our meticulous planning, commendable teamwork, and sincere execution resulted in creating something bigger than what we promised. It echoes the creativity and grit of the entire WAC team, proving to the world that when WAC comes together, we truly go beyond boundaries and create history.

With WAC, something big is always on the way!
