## Project Highlights
160+
161+
This year marks a monumental milestone—20 years of Selenium transforming browser automation!
162+
Since its inception as a modest open-source project, Selenium has grown into the world’s most
163+
trusted tool for web automation, powering testing and development for countless users globally.
164+
From revolutionizing open-source collaboration to shaping automation practices, Selenium has
165+
impacted developers, testers, and organizations worldwide.
166+
167+
To honor this journey, the Selenium team hosted a special webinar on October 28th, 2024, where
168+
the leadership team shared insights on Selenium’s evolution, the latest advancements in WebDriver
169+
BiDi, and exciting prospects for the future. If you’d like to learn more about Selenium’s
170+
incredible journey and future plans, head to the official blog post
171+
[here](https://www.selenium.dev/blog/2024/selenium-milestone-20yrs-blog/).
172+
173+
Special thanks to the Selenium community for your continued support and contributions, to
174+
the entire Selenium team for their dedication and hard work,
175+
and to [Pallavi Sharma](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pallavimuse/) and
176+
[Maaret Pyhäjärvi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maaret/) for organizing and leading this event.
177+
