PNSQC’s Call for Proposals is now open. It only takes 5 minutes to submit an idea.
Since its inception, the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) has put quality at the forefront. The conference program emphasizes three tracks of interest in developing high-quality software:
- Emerging Technologies and Concepts
- Management, Leadership, and People
- Processes and Tools
Authors can submit multiple proposals, but each proposal should be limited to a single topic. Any individual author will only be accepted once as the primary author.
This year’s conference is "Amp it up!" Exploring ways that technology and processes can amplify quality and throughout software systems and through human systems (your company, organization, and team).
Take the opportunity to change the face of quality by becoming a part of the 41st annual conference. Send us a talk proposal today. Submissions close at 11:59 pm PST on Sunday, April 16th, 2023.

Tracks Abound
The Program Committee is putting a lot of energy and enthusiasm into the tracks this year.

The tracks cover a wide range of topics designed to interest managers, developers, testers, and other engineering professionals.
