What happened. We just wrapped Leading with AI, hosted in collaboration with PwC at their London Embankment office. Quality Engineers, Engineering Managers, CTOs and Staff Engineers came together for a half-day of honest conversation about where AI adoption really stands, beyond the hype. Talks from Nick Pykett, Preeti Gupta and James Pearce, a panel on the practical impact of AI on engineering management, and a collaborative Moment-writing session brought the MoTaverse mindset into the room. It's the kind of event that only happens when a community and a company decide to build something together.
Setting the table. We've also just launched something new: MoTaverse Dinners. Small, intimate, in-person gatherings for Professional Members, with no panels and no slides, just the conversations that don't happen in conference hallways. The first two, Leadership Dinners, land during MoTaCon week in September, London on Monday the 28th and Brighton on Wednesday the 30th, with just 20 places at each. TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest) is backing both. We're already looking for companies to support future themes, locations and dinners.
Why it matters. Partnerships like this aren't a side note for us, building bridges is core to the future of the MoTaverse and any healthy ecosystem. We're the most active software testing and quality engineering community in the world, with 150k+ members, 100k+ LinkedIn followers and 70k newsletter subscribers opening at 30-40%. When a partner steps in, whether that's a half-day event, a dinner table, or a stage, they're building a bridge into a community that genuinely cares about the future of quality software.Â
Beyond one-off events. A Company Page and a branded Chapter come as standard with every Partner package, and they're worth more than they sound. A Company Page gives you a permanent home in the MoTaverse where members can find you, your products and your story. A Chapter goes further: it's your own corner of the community, where you can run events, open a dedicated Slack channel, share new features and get direct feedback from the people actually using your products. We're investing in the longevity of presence.
What we're really offering. At its core, the MoTaverse is a platform for uplifting people and the companies that support them. We give partners a credible stage: a publish-ready place to share news, links, knowledge, a podcast to be heard on, and a community that lends real weight to anything built here. It's not just visibility. It's credibility, earned by showing up where quality people already trust the conversation.
What's next. MoTaCon 2026 is coming to Brighton Dome on 1st October, and we're looking for sponsors to help make it happen. Nearly 200 people have already registered for a day covering AI, leadership, security, accessibility and the future of quality engineering.
The takeaway. Whether it's a single event, a physical space you can share, a dinner, a Chapter, or a year-round partnership, there's a way to build with us.
Let's move forward. Feel free to book a calendar slot with Diana or drop us an email at hello@ministryoftesting.com
