In any case we cover 4 (four) hotel nights per speaker. Hotel costs include the accommodation in a double room for max. 4 nights (for the period of November 12-17, 2023) only.

We don’t cover expenses for food, beverages or any other services. All receipts are to be presented to the organization team subsequent to the conference.

What we are Looking for

25-min Talks

A presentation on some subject or topic in front of an audience.

105- and 120-min Workshops

Workshops are designed to teach or develop a certain skill. They are directed more towards collaborating and learning in an interactive environment. The different workshops should contain at least 50% practical exercises, which can be extended to more than 80% distinct full-on training.

Combo Sessions

This is a combination of a 30-min talk delivering the theory, followed by a 75-min or 90-min workshop to practice the preceding talk hands-on. Both sessions need to work individually, as attendees might not stay for both sessions.

Bonus Sessions

Fun and creative sessions that provide a balance to the agile, testing-related and technical sessions.

Social Activities

Sessions that start or roundup a conference day in the morning or evening to encourage networking and socializing.
