EuroSTAR is seeking submissions for conference sessions, keynotes, workshops, and tutorials.
The 27th EuroSTAR conference will take place in Prague on November 11-14, 2019.
This is an opportunity to be part of Europe’s largest and longest running software testing event, to share your expertise with an engaged and interested audience of more than 1,000 delegates. If you have a success story (or how you learned from failures), a real customer case study or an exciting project to share, you can apply to speak at EuroSTAR.
Since 1993 the EuroSTAR Conference has been the go-to software testing community where software testers can collaboratively work together, share knowledge and fulfill their professional potential. Testers build and renew connections at the conference each November and avail of in-depth testing resources through the online EuroSTAR Huddle which is also available, as a platform, to EuroSTAR speakers.
The conference itself is high-energy, fun and welcoming. It is held over 4 days with more than 70 sessions, networking events and the largest software testing expo in Europe. Each year the EuroSTAR programme is created by the community for the community.
The 2019 Programme Chair, Isabel Evans, her committee, and a wider group of volunteers from the testing world will review all submissions in order to craft the very best selection of talks and workshops for the 1,000 plus EuroSTAR delegates.
This year’s conference theme is Working Well and will take into account testers’ purpose, practices and people.
Submissions are invited across a diverse range of topics including approaches to testing, testing techniques, tools and automation, security, quality, skills and knowledge, teams and organizations as well as ethics, professionalism, how we work and more.
When planning a talk, remember that nothing beats real experiences and sharing case studies of overcoming problems or failures - this is what we learn from! Each of the delegates attending your session will be there because of what you have to say and that is the best feeling.
Closing date for submissions is February 4, 2019.
