Wrapping up the 2022 Conference

PNSQC's 40th-anniversary conference marked our first year as a hybrid conference -- it was a challenge and also a lot of fun. A huge thank you again to all the terrific Keynotes and Invited Speakers, Technical Paper presenters, Workshop leaders, fabulous Sponsors, dedicated Paper Reviewers, Volunteers, attendees, and Board Members for making the Pacific NW Software Quality Conference so great. Congratulations to our top three speakers nominated and evaluated by their peers at the conference.

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.
