Sometimes apprehension and a bunch of "what ifs" stop us from sharing in public. Yet for Test.bash(); it feels good to openly share our registration target. We'd love for 1,000 community members to attend. Right now we're at 263.
So we need your help. Because this event is better when more of the community gathers to discuss and explore important topics that impact our day-to-day testing profession. If you'd like to join in, register with a Pro membership or purchase a ticket today.
Have a brilliant week!
Simon, CommunityBoss 😃
