Achieving higher quality software through knowledge exchange
PNSQC is now in its fourth decade of hosting its prestigious annual software quality conference. This friendly and professional conference has been helping you solve software quality problems for 37 years. As the longest running conference in North America focused on software quality, we take pride in attendees leaving the conference with real solutions they can use.
Our 2019 program will explore the theme of culture and how it affects the quality of your projects and organizations. Join us October 14-16, 2019, in Portland, as leaders of the software engineering profession gather to discuss the latest trends in software development, QA and testing. You’ll learn from those on the cutting edge – and have plenty of opportunities to socialize too, making new friends and contacts to build your professional and personal networks.
We’ve got a carefully cultured line-up of invited speakers set to explore software quality with us. Theses technical program invited speakers’ hot topics and impressive biographies are posted for your review. As we prepare for the conference, we have already hosted invited speakers webinars to get you thinking about the industry today and solutions for tomorrow. The replays are available on the PNSQC News, webinars section. The deep dive workshops will take you on a full or half day journey into topics from Unit Testing to SPEED, plus another chance to participate in a hackathon.
Online conference registration will open in early July with super early-bird and group discounts. Check out the registration information now to elevate your own culture of quality in October.
The theme for PNSQC 2019 is “A Culture of Quality”. Start gathering ideas to put together your own proposal for how a quality culture is shared among your team, workplace or company. We are looking forward to seeing you next year at PNSQC, Oct 14-16, 2019.
