28 Apr 2026
In this moment:
Adam Davis
We are thrilled to welcome Adam Davis to the MoTaCon stage this year!
Adam will be presenting a talk where he will move beyond theory to show how bringing "controlled chaos" into a safe environment can fundamentally change how testers and developers solve problems.

What to expect:Â
- A live demo where YOU become part of a distributed system.
- Practical ways to simulate failure (latency, partial responses) without complex tooling.
- Insights on how to bridge the gap between "happy-path" thinking and real-world instability.
Don’t miss out on learning how to make your systems, and your team’s thinking, more resilient.
Adam will also be presenting a sneak peek into his demo at the MoT Manchester Chapter event on the 5th of May 2026!
