The journey concludes on the last day of the conference with a dynamic panel discussion with Q&A and finishes with an open space.

FAQ – Most frequent Questions

Do I have to sign up for the Deep Dive tracks?

No sign-up is needed. Just be in the session room as early as possible to save yourself a seat.

Can I participate in multiple Deep Dive tracks?

The program design will enable you to attend 2 of the 4 deep dive topics fully, but you need to decide which ones you want to attend. On conference day 1 the topics will be Accessibility and Test Automation. Conference Day 2 will host the topics AI and CI/CD.

Do I have to attend all of the sessions of the Deep Dive topic, or can I attend only a few?

This is totally up to you. It also depends on your level of knowledge on the topic. Please note though that you may miss out on the full experience if you leave early or hop in at a later stage. However, it also enables you to check out the 2 topics running in parallel (or other parallel sessions you might find interesting).

Can I attend with my team?

Of course, you can attend with your team. We suggest spreading among the different topics to take as much diverse knowledge back to work as possible!
