A curated program for speakers who want to create something truly new — premiering first, and only, at Agile Testing Days.
Why this exists?
Every Year
Thousands of testers attend conferences worldwide.
But too often
The same ideas travel from stage to stage.
So we're changing that
New ideas should be born here — not just repeated.
What is an AgileTD Signature? A conference experience made for this stage only.
Think of it like a streaming "Original": created exclusively for one home, experienced there first. The format doesn't matter. The originality does.
New keynote
Brand-new workshop
Innovative session format
Live experiment
Collaborative experience
Debate
Interactive challenge
Something else?
Surprise us. That's the point.
Premiere your newest work before the world's testing community.
Official Signature recognition
This badge marks your session in the program, on your speaker page and on your slides.
Featured pre-conference promotion

Across all AgileTD channels.
Travel, hotel & honorarium
Full travel (economy) and hotel covered, an honorarium and a special Signature gift.*
A true world premiere
Your idea, experienced for the very first time — here.
Only here. First here.
The goal isn't to restrict speakers. It's to give the community something they can only experience at Agile Testing Days.

The Selection Process. Two stages. Intentionally very limited.
Not every submission becomes a Signature. We look for originality, creativity and potential — not perfection.
Stage 1
now open
Oct 01, 2026 – Dec 31, 2026
Original Idea Application
Before the CFP opens. No polished abstract, no slide deck — just your vision. Tell us:
- What's the idea?
- Why is it original?
- Why does the testing community need it?
- Why should it premiere at Agile Testing Days?
Stage 2
by invitation
Invitation to the Call for Papers
Selected applicants are invited to develop their idea into a full Signature submission — shaped together with the AgileTD team.
What we are not looking for
Another AI overview
Another shift-left talk
Another "Top 10 Testing Tips"
We want speakers who create — not just present.
Got an idea nobody has seen yet?
Stage 1 takes a few minutes. Send us the vision — we'll help shape the rest.
