Anyone can submit to speak at the EuroSTAR Conference. Submissions are reviewed by an independent review panel of experienced software testers and also by the Programme Committee. The best scoring submissions are then used to compile the programme. A small number of speakers are invited and do not come through the submission process – this is at the discretion of the Programme Chair and his/her Committee. Our 2020 Call for Speakers is open until 7 Feb 2020.
