TestBash Home is Back!
Yes, you read that right, weâre bringing our 24-hour TestBash Home back again on 17th-18th June 2021. Registration is now open! Weâre also looking for speakers, abstract reviewers, volunteers and sponsors.
Why?
Ever since TestBash Home 2020, youâve been asking us when it would be coming back.
TestBash Home 2020 was an experiment, a light in the midst of lockdown around the world and what a light it was! When we started with the idea to run a 24-hour conference, we wanted to bring our entire global community closer together. We wanted to connect you all and give you something to talk about for a long time to come. Based on your feedback, we knocked it out of the park! đ
This year, weâre planning to do even more of what you love. In true Ministry of Testing style, weâll have some of what you expect and some surprises added in. Thereâll be talks, interactive sessions, break out spaces, surprises and, of course, fabulous hosts.
Whether lockdown is still happening in your country or not, thereâs no denying the good feels that an event like this will give you.
The Plan
TestBash Home will start on 17th June 2021 as a 24-hour rolling software testing conference. This means you can tune in when it best suits you. Donât worry about missing sessions, weâll be recording everything and making it available to all of the attendees on our website.
Not sure when this is happening in your region? Head over to the event page, itâll show you the exact date and time based on your location.
How can you get involved?
We need you! We need members of the community to:
- Submit talks
- Help us to review the talks submitted
- Volunteer to help on the day
Submit a talk
Weâre looking for 30-minute talks on a range of topics and we pay all of our speakers for their time on stage too. Check out all of the reasons you should speak at TestBash.
If youâve already got a talk in mind, head over to our continuous call for papers page to submit it.Â
Got an idea for a talk but need help bulking it out? Ask for help in the speaking channel on our Slack group or over on The Club.
The deadline for talk submissions is 27th March 2021.
Review the talks
Weâre proud to say that all of our TestBash lineups are decided by our wonderful community. Your reviews help us to make sure weâre putting on an event that you want to see.
Help us make sure the TestBash Home lineup is one you canât miss by reviewing some abstracts. You donât have to review them all, every little helps!
Volunteer to help
As with every TestBash, it takes a brilliant team behind the scenes to help make sure everything runs smoothly. For TestBash Home, weâre looking for approximately 10 volunteers from all over the world to help us.
Our volunteers will have a range of duties throughout the event from directing people to the right area in the online platform, sharing supporting links and helping us to ensure that the Code of Conduct is respected. You wonât be expected to stay online for the full 24-hours! Weâll need your help for 3-4 hours. In return, youâll get access to the entire event and all of the recordings after.
Interested? Let us know on The Club where you are and what times youâd be available for and weâll be in touch.
