Yes, guilds exist today, but they have evolved from their historical roots. Modern guilds often take the form of professional organizations, trade associations, or unions that serve to support members in various industries by providing networking opportunities, resources, and advocacy. They continue to play a role in setting standards, providing training, and promoting the interests of their members, much like traditional guilds did in the past. Additionally, online communities and platforms have fostered new forms of guild-like structures, especially in creative and digital fields.
