MoTaCon spoiler edition
22 Sep 2026
Last week The Netherlands chapter held a MoTaCon pre-party spoiler edition with me and Rene trying out our MoTaCon talks and Fieke as an extra bonus talk.
Not only was it a fun and interesting MoT night, it was also really helpful to be able to try out my talk on fear-based testing. I definitely still need to polish my story, but judging by the feedback and discussions afterwards, the foundation is solid. The opportunity to try out a talk in a smaller setting was helpful to me as MoTaCon is going to be my first time at a single-track program, so it will most likely be the biggest audience I've presented for and I'm already feeling the nerves...
But with my talk almost MoTaCon-ready I can now also look into all the activities around MoTaCon that I want to join!
