MoT-NL is back — and what a comeback it was!
Yesterday, September 9th, we held the very first chapter meeting of Ministry of Testing Netherlands — and it felt like a long-lost friend finally returned home. After years of silence, MoT is back on Dutch soil, and the energy in the room made it clear: we’ve missed this. A huge shoutout to Squerist for hosting and supporting this resurrection. Their commitment to sharing knowledge and building community aligns beautifully with the MoT spirit — and they didn’t just open their doors, they opened their hearts.
