Barcelona Meetup 🇪🇸
Date: Tuesday, 17 June 2025
If your test suite takes an hour, are you testing—or stalling? Learn how breaking old habits and adopting smart dev-led automation unlocks speed, trust, and clarity. In 2025, test pipelines are product pipelines—are we still treating them like second-class citizens?

Valencia Meetup 🇪🇸
Date: Thursday, 19 June 2025
Are you running the right tests—or just running all the tests? Discover how Telefónica’s AI-powered Smart Test Adviser redefines test selection for speed and impact. In 2025, AI won’t replace testers—but it might just challenge everything we prioritize in quality engineering.

Athens Meetup 🇬🇷
Date: Thursday, 26 June 2025
Can test leadership be technical, global, and community-driven—all at once? Join Angie Jones and fellow trailblazers at MoT Athens to explore bold new paths in testing. In 2025, the best testers aren’t just writing scripts—they’re rewriting what influence in tech looks like.

London Meetup 🇬🇧
Date: Thursday, 26 June 2025
Is scale killing community in tech—or making it stronger? London MoT 4.0 with Monzo proves that big can still mean bold, curious, and deeply connected. In 2025, testing isn’t just a role—it’s a movement, and this meetup is where momentum meets meaning.

Cincinnati Meetup 🇺🇸
Date: June 27 2025 
Join the Ministry of Testing Cincinnati for an interactive workshop focusing on Agile testing strategies. Learn how to effectively incorporate testing into Agile development cycles, ensuring high-quality software delivery.

Don't miss this opportunity to network with fellow professionals and stay updated on the latest testing trends.

Plymouth Meetup 🇬🇧
Date: Wednesday, 9 July 2025
We will host quarterly meetups where members can network, share best practices, and participate in informal coffee chats related to all things QA and testing. Let's come together to gain different perspectives on common problems. For the first session, we will start with a "get to know you" session, followed by a general discussion about staying relevant in a rapidly evolving corporate landscape. We'll close by identifying topics of interest for the next meetup.

Newcastle Meetup 🇬🇧
Date: Tuesday, 15 July 2025
Is BDD just structured syntax—or a mindset shift we’ve been resisting? Join Peter Simons in Newcastle for a hands-on dive into Behaviour-Driven Development that puts people, not just processes, at the heart of quality. In 2025, collaboration is your test strategy—are we building for it?
