Our 2021 talks include topics such as Engagement with new approaches and technologies – for all you ‘trekkies’ out there, think engage in the sense of moving forward in the quest for knowledge and exploring new worlds of testing. Engagement with teams and colleagues – collaborative approaches and techniques, mental health, coaching and personal development, and more. Engaging people so they become interested in testing and keeping them thinking about it including developers and business stakeholders. A binding commitment/engagement to deliver quality and value to your customers and stakeholders and how testing can help you achieve that within your team and organisation – and many more.
