Dear TestBash 2024,

At the heart of the Brighton Dome,
You were set, on a beautiful stage,
Where history has been made,
By many great art, with lives touched,
Even the ABBA’s, will forever, know you by name!

This time, your doors opened,
To over 550 software quality enthusiasts,
With thy lights aglow!

Aboard your podium,
Inspiring talks delivered, by many great speakers,
In the presence of a great audience,
And a wonderful community,

A CASE is made:

“To foster your professional excellence, self-awareness is a moral responsibility”

As the whispers of the ocean fall,
By the sea, where Brighton lies

A testament is told,
Of some fate, some story,
Some guy, some time,
Some chance, some work,
Some results, some grace,
Some praise, some gratitude!

… And suddenly,
One day becomes some day!

As the sunsets stains the restless tide,
In Brighton’s heart, a guys dream made true,
A moment of fate, charm and grace you bestowed!

For the joy, and the happiness,
For the fulfillment, and the motivation,
For the experience, and the lessons,
And all else you gave, thank you TestBash!

Thank you Ministry of Testing,
For being the brainchild, and the Orchestrator,
Of the Bash we once wished to Test!

Thank you Brighton, for these memories,
And for the hope, I shall behold,
Until we meet again!

Sincerely,
DaMovementBoss ✊✊✊
We turned Barry Ehigiator's beautiful and heartfelt poem into a gif! Thankyou Barry for such kind and warm words.
