All Sessions
There are countless ways to show up and contribute. Which one will you try today?
A reflective episode on joining new teams, respecting existing quality processes, asking better questions, naming the work we already do, and using community to turn uncertainty into learning.
A thoughtful, vulnerable episode about grief, identity, AI, writing, and the emotional cost of trying to influence quality in organisations that don’t always listen.
With SQEC now fully live, the community swaps stories about new roles, flaky tests, accessibility audits, and why shared language, pairing, and “being the duck” can make quality work easier.
Celebrate surprise-smooth demos, learn how solo testers spark better quality conversations, and explore “assumption investigating” as a core skill for making work clearer and kinder.
Set meaningful goals, communicate quality through risks and real-world consequences, and turn small wins like building a quality narrative into career growth.
Celebrate the spooky side of quality as community members share their funniest, scariest, and most unforgettable stories that turn everyday mishaps into lessons worth laughing about.
Celebrate the quality community’s creativity and courage as folks share lessons, ideas, and stories in just 99 seconds.
Celebrate the launch of This Week in Quality as the community tests a new platform, shares MoTaCon highlights, and reflects on how quality connects us all.

After a decade in communications, I switched to testing—turns out that I really like figuring out how things work and how they fit together. Always open to learning more and meeting new people!
