Since the rebirth of the Ministry of Testing Netherlands Chapter on 28 May 2025, our community has been on an incredible journey. What started as a fresh restart is quickly transforming into a vibrant, curious, and collaborative space for testers across the country.

And today, we’re proud to share a milestone that fills us with energy: we’ve officially reached 100 members.

This achievement isn’t just a number, it’s a testament to the passion, generosity, and drive of everyone who joined, contributed, shared stories, asked questions, and helped shape this renewed chapter. Together, we’ve built momentum. In 2026, we’re ready to grow even further.

What’s Next? Our First Event of 2026!
We’re kicking off the new year with an event that captures exactly what this chapter stands for: speed, storytelling, and smart testing.

📅 19 February 2026
📍 Squerist HQ, Veenendaal
🎤 “The Next Dutch Chapter: Speed, Stories & Smart Testing”

Expect an evening full of insights, community connection, and the kind of energy that only a Ministry of Testing gathering can bring. Whether you’re one of our first 100 members or joining us for the very first time, come and be part of what comes next.

Here’s to the next chapter.
Here’s to growth, curiosity, and community.
Here’s to the next 100.
