📅  Date: February 26th, 2026 (Thursday)

📍 Location: Xelerate - R. António Nicolau D'Almeida 66 4°drt, 4100-320 Porto

We’re kicking off the year with a bang! Join us for the very first Ministry of Testing Porto Meetup of 2026. We are returning to Xelerate, but this time at their brand-new offices! Our last event with them was fantastic, and we can’t wait to see their new space while catching up with the local QA community.

➡️ Talk 1: From Testers to Mentors: Building a Culture of Quality Through QA Mentorship
Thiago Ferreira will explore the vital shift from being "just a tester" to becoming a mentor. He will discuss how QA professionals can lead the way in fostering a deep-rooted culture of quality within their teams, sharing insights on how mentorship can empower everyone to take ownership of the product's excellence.
Speaker: Thiago Ferreira

➡️ Talk 2: Mission: Quality — Powered by AI
In this session, Lia will share how to leverage AI tools that can help elevate your software quality — making it faster, smarter, and more reliable than ever. This is the talk we were originally planning to host previously, so don't miss this second chance to explore practical applications of AI in your testing workflow!
Speaker: Lia Moreira
