No party without a speech, so here we go...

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today is the day: TKC has turned 18. Officially an adult. 🎉
And as it goes when you turn 18… suddenly, a lot becomes possible.

For instance, TKC can now vote. And that actually fits perfectly. With the motto “Sharing knowledge, growing together, with enjoyment,” TKC has had a clear voice for years. A voice that doesn’t just speak, but also listens. One that shares knowledge, brings others along, and moves forward together. Now that it’s 18, that voice can only grow stronger.

And yes… turning 18 also means you’re finally allowed to have a drink.
Though, let’s be honest: at TKC, we were already doing that a little bit on the sly 😉
But now it’s official. No more excuses — just raising a glass together to success, to growth, and… well, sometimes just because it’s Friday.

At 18, you’re also allowed to take a gamble. Head into the casino, feel the thrill, take risks…
And if we’re honest, TKC has been doing that for the past 18 years as well. New ideas, new directions, sometimes a leap into the unknown. Not at a roulette table, but with courage. And fortunately, often with great returns: growth, development, and strong collaborations.

Another thing that fits TKC: a sporting spirit. Because growing up isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Training together, improving each other, pushing through when things get tough — that’s been in the DNA for 18 years. And let’s be honest: a bit of healthy competition never hurts.

And then… art. Because yes, that’s part of it too.
Recently, we even had a full-on Bob Ross session. Where we learned there are no mistakes, only “happy little accidents.” Maybe that’s the real lesson of 18 years of TKC: dare to try, dare to fail, and create something beautiful together.

But let’s not forget: being 18 also means responsibility.
Making your own choices. Setting your own course. Sometimes paying a bill and thinking, “how is this even possible?”
But luckily, TKC doesn’t do that alone. Always together. Because at its core, it’s about growing together.

So where does TKC stand now?
18 years young. Full of energy. With a strong foundation, a clear identity, and a whole world still to explore.

So let’s raise our glasses. To sharing knowledge. To growing together. To having fun — with or without an “officially permitted” drink.
And above all: to everything that’s yet to come.

Cheers to TKC! 🥂
