Tester conferences in Europe or a reason to shop around?

    We already wrote earlier about the variety of cities captured by testers within our former homeland (now the CIS), which appear in batches after the next SQA Days . And now I decided to look beyond the borders of the CIS and ask, is there life on Mars? And so I decided to search the Internet, and what kind of high- quality conferences should be offered to a “quality” person ?





    There are difficulties with sorting knowledge. Part of the conferences has already ended; there are old dates, but no new ones. For the part, there are already new dates and writing old dates is not comme il faut. Some conferences are so nimble that it is difficult to attribute them to one particular region, since they constantly migrate, in an attempt to escape from a “quality” person.
    Only industry practical conferences were subject to review, i.e. not scientific in different research institutes on the problems of verification, validation, etc. Scientific conferences deserve a separate article. I tried to choose large, regular events. Suspicious conference startups ignored.
    Only conferences that are 100% about testing and quality were subject to review. Conferences like about Software Engeneering in general, including about quality - were not included in the review.
    I took the latest relevant dates for each conference, sorted the conferences by region based on where they are or will be held, but indicated which conferences are not geostationary (eco bent?) - i.e. they’re not attached to the city, but they’re kuraleshat in different countries.
    For interest, I immediately tried to collect the Old and the price tag. And let it be!
    If possible, if a valuable link was found at the conference - a la materials from the speeches of past years - a link was provided.
    The dates in bold are those that are still in the future at the time of publication, i.e. you can still catch it! :)

    And on a hub it seems there are limits on article length ?! The review included America, Asia, Africa, and Australia with New Zealand. But they do not fit! Then left the most delicious - Europe \ CIS. But a number of conferences such as GTAC or CITCOM are so international that they will be held once in America, and then in Europe. And where to include them here?).
