About EuroSTAR

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

For over 30 years, the EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference has been more than just an event—it has been a gathering place for a passionate community of testers and quality professionals. A place where knowledge is shared, friendships are forged, and the testing industry continues to evolve, driven by the dedication of those who believe in learning, collaboration, and excellence. 

At the heart of this journey are individuals who have played a pivotal role in shaping EuroSTAR—those who have contributed their expertise, time, and enthusiasm year after year. To honor their unwavering support and impact, we created the EuroSTAR Legends Hall of Fame. 

What does being EuroSTAR Legend mean? 

EuroSTAR Legends are those who have been part of this incredible journey for at least 20 conferences—whether as delegates, speakers, or programme committee members. Their commitment to the EuroSTAR community has helped shape the event into what it is today.

As a token of our gratitude, every EuroSTAR Legend is invited to attend the conference free of charge each year, celebrating their dedication and continued contributions.

If you’ve attended 20 or more EuroSTAR Conferences—or are on track to reach this milestone soon—we’d love to hear from you! Not sure of your attendance record? Email us, and we’ll be happy to check for you.
