Keynotes, Invited Speakers, Presentations and Events
The conference always has a variety of industry-recognized keynote speakers, invited speakers, and panel discussions on key topics of today and tomorrow. There will also be lightning sessions, workshops, and social events. Interesting Conference Papers, Presentations, and Posters will provide new ideas and insights that can be applied upon returning to work. The conference is also complemented by a full day of workshops, allowing a deep dive into topical and interesting subjects. Look for more details to unfold over the next few months while the conference agenda is finalized.
The Program Committee is putting a lot of energy and enthusiasm into the tracks this year. Having more speakers and shorter breaks was a popular change for last year that will be carried forward this year. The tracks cover a wide range of topics designed to interest managers, developers, testers, and other engineering professionals.
