MoT-NL has made a great come back

We were treated to a stellar lineup of speakers:
Jarsto van Santen, a true legend from the Dutch TestBash era, reminded us why he’s still a crowd favorite.
Martin Gijsen, Automation in Testing Strategist at PuPPET, brought sharp insights and fresh perspectives.
And of course, the ever-vibrant Elizabeth Zagroba, who lit up the room with her energy and wisdom. If you haven’t seen her speak yet — make sure you do at the upcoming TestBash!

It was an evening of reconnection, inspiration, and a shared sense of “we’re building something again.” The MoT-NL chapter is alive, and this is just the beginning.
Here’s to more meetups, more stories, and more testing magic. 🚀

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.
