Exploring the uncharted realms of software testing in Aotearoa
This year’s conference is all about testing products and services that push the boundaries of conventional software testing.
Our incredibly diverse lineup works in a range of industries; digital agencies, agri-tech, game, fin-tech, and enterprise software development. These speakers will share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in applying testing principles to their unique context.
Look forward to invaluable insights that could reshape your approach to testing!

After socials
Our format is a little different this year…
Typically at a conference you will hear from a presenter, and if you are lucky, you might get an opportunity to ask a question at the end.
This year we are having breakout sessions after each block of speakers. This is where you will have an opportunity to speak directly to our presenters, dive deeper on their topic, and hang out with other attendees who are interested in the same topic.
These breakout sessions are free-form so you can stay with one presenter, move between several presenters, or just chill out and network with other attendees.
