In this moment: Jason Huggins
What happens when the person who fundamentally changed how the world tests software looks back at two decades of automation, and then looks forward to an AI-driven future?

We are beyond excited to announce that Jason Huggins (the creator of Selenium and co-creator of Appium) is joining us at MoTaCon for an absolute whirlwind of a session!

In his talk, Jason will distil over two decades of industry-defining experience into a fast-paced, high-impact session that connects the foundations of test automation to the AI-does-everything future we are heading towards.

Why you cannot miss this: 
  • Hear directly from the pioneer behind Selenium and Appium
  • 22 years of hard-won lessons packed into just 22 minutes of pure insight
  • Learn how those historical lessons are being applied to new projects like Vibium and AI

This isn't just history. It is a lesson in staying relevant, adaptable and innovative as the technology landscape shifts beneath our feet.

Join us at MoTaCon today!
