EuroSTAR Conferences is part of QualTech Conferences and is based in Galway, Ireland. QualTech has three decades of experience in organising leading European IT conferences. Our team works year-round dedicated to deliver two dynamic software testing conferences, AutomationSTAR focused on test automation, and our flagship EuroSTAR Conference, which covers the wider spectrum software quality challenges and trends.
Since 1993, EuroSTAR has brought together an inclusive and welcoming community and our flagship EuroSTAR conference provides a space for software testers to collaboratively work together and thrive! We welcome testers, test leads, QA engineers, test managers and CEOs from over 50 countries to our annual conference, as well as other online and in-person events. See the EuroSTAR timeline.
The EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference is a totally immersive and wonderfully energetic celebration of the craft of testing. It is the longest running, and largest testing conference in Europe, with the widest variety of topics. For more information on attending, or if you’re considering partnering with us, please contact us.
EuroSTAR Community
EuroSTAR is community-led and each year, we invite a Programme Committee from within the community to lead the conference, select a theme, and call for speaker submissions. We welcome both experienced and new speakers. Everyone has to start somewhere and our community is both supportive and encouraging. Many attendees and speakers make new connections at EuroSTAR, that turn into lifelong friends! We are also surrounded by volunteers willing to help review submissions and host community sessions. If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
EuroSTAR exists to help provide Content and Connections for the Community – the three Cs represented in our logo and what we live each day. EuroSTAR Huddle is the online embodiment of our community. On Huddle, you will find amazing content that is co-created with testing experts from across the globe. We believe in the power of shared learning and there are no membership fees so you can join today and start learning with your community, at your pace, when it suits you best! By becoming a member you not only have the opportunity to avail of this content but can also join in and shape the future of how the community grows. This is YOUR community and you are very welcome!
EuroSTAR Legends – 20 Year Club
In 2022 we celebrated the 30th edition of the EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference. 30 years of the testing community coming together to share knowledge, support each other and grow. There has been such incredible community spirit, shaped and nurtured by every single tester and quality professional that has been part of this wonderful journey.
In recognition of those that have been instrumental in the creation and ongoing development of EuroSTAR, we have a EuroSTAR Legends Hall of Fame. EuroSTAR Legends are invited to attend the annual conference free of charge each year, with our thanks for their continual contribution.
How to become a EuroSTAR Legend
To be included in the EuroSTAR Legends Hall of Fame, you will have attended at least 20 editions of the conference as a delegate, speaker or programme committee member. If you believe that that you have attended 20 EuroSTAR Conferences – or that you will do so in the next few years, then please let us know! We are happy to check and confirm attendance records for you. Email us with any queries.
