Thursday 17th September 6pm-8pm at Colony King Street, 76 King St, Manchester M2 4NH

Welcome to the next MoT Manchester Chapter event:
Join us for an evening delving into the people behind the testing! We will be focus on human centered testing, with 3 talks, plus plenty of time for networking in between.

Talk 1- Lewis Prescott, Senior QA Consultant at Hippo Digital
It’s Always a People Problem: The reality behind AI in testing

Synopsis: A modern testing approach isn't about replacing human testers with automation. It's about collaboration across the entire SDLC to build the right thing, and build it right.
 
Talk 2- Kim Muncey, AI and Automation Tester at ConnexAI
How can you test a system that you don't understand?
 Drawing on my experience, I'll explore how we can use AI to navigate unfamiliar systems, build our understanding, and challenge our testing without losing the human judgement behind it. 

Talk 3- Caitlin Randles, Lead Test Engineer
AI-Powered Testing: Supercharging the Human Tester
Upskilling and empowering Test Engineers to streamline testing, not replacing them!
 
We’ll wrap up with our signature 99-Second Talks, your chance to take the stage and share your thoughts, followed by plenty of time to swap stories over a drink.

Big shout out to our sponsors Hippo Digital for providing the venue, drinks and food! Please message me in advance with any dietary requirements.
