This weekend (19-21.09) marked the 10th Polish Quality Retreat 🎉
It's been over 6 years since our first Retreat on 22.03.2019
- 10 official Retreats
- 20 active members
- 30 days of inspiration
- 78 months of online discussions
- ~100 topics explored
- 76,851 messages on Slack
This is the essence of a conference for Quality Assurance experts.
Tracing past discussion notes, it's interesting to see how our focus, problems, challenges, and the whole market have changed over those years.
But you know what didn't change?

This is very cool.
To encourage others to do similar, how has this changed you for the better?

I must say, after 16 years in Mobile/IT, it's really hard to find a safe space to discuss important subjects with my peers. Conferences and meetups are great for knowledge sharing, exchanging experiences, challenging ideas etc.
However, this feels like a mini think tank.
It's a different kind of questions, ideas, and insights when you have a group of people that you can trust and know are your peers.
Both Slack and offline meetings fill this gap in my mind, which I couldn't fill any other way
