The 2024 EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference is going to Stockholm, Sweden.
If you’ve ever wanted to speak at EuroSTAR and share your story on Europe’s largest stage, the Call for Speakers is open until 17th September.
Now is the time to start thinking about what you’d like to share. What experiences will help others in the room. Perhaps it’s something that didn’t work at first but then you found a solution. It might be technical, or it might core skills.
EuroSTAR 2024 Programme Chair, Michael Bolton, is inviting you to explore the theme, ‘What Are We Doing Here?’ – it’s a wide-open question, with lots of possible interpretations and related questions.
Talk Type
We’ll share more on these later but for now, there will be three main types of talks:
- Keynote – 60mins (45mins talk + 15mins Q&A)
- Tutorials/Workshops – Full-day 7 hours OR Half-day 3.5 hours incl breaks
- Track Talks – 60mins (40mins talk + 20mins valuable discussion)
Who?
Calling all testing enthusiasts and software quality advocates – whether you’re a veteran, or new to testing – to share your expertise, successes (and failures) with your peers; and spark new learnings, lively discussions, and lots of inspiration.
Think about what engages you in your work, engrosses you in testing, challenges you’ve faced, or new ideas you’ve sparked? Get in front of a global audience, raise your profile, and get involved with a friendly community of testers.
Here’s everything you need to know about taking the first step on to the EuroSTAR stage.
We invite speakers of all levels to submit their talk proposals and take the biggest stage in testing!
What Do I Need To Submit?
A clear title, a compelling abstract and 3 possible learnings that attendees will take from your talk – this is the main part of your submission. We’ll ask you to add in your contact details and tick some category boxes but your title, talk outline & key learnings are the key focus.
