Sallyann Freudenberg
Agile ConsultantHow Our Differences Make All The Difference and What To Do About It
Join Sallyann as she asks YOU to consider diversity of the minds of testers and fully embrace and support all of the wonderful and different thinkers we have. This talk is a rallying cry against homogenous, one-size-fits-all environments, processes and recruitment methods, which often exclude those very best equipped to help our products, teams and organisations flourish.

James Christie
Consultant“There is a phrase used by people working with complex safety critical systems; “jousting with dragons” or “facing the dragons at the borderlands”. It comes from the practice in olden days of map-makers who would fill in the gaps in their knowledge of the world with monsters and warn “here be dragons”.
Throughout his keynote he will outline how one should work in these conditions of uncertainty and that testers will have to be brave enough to say “I don’t know”. -
Karen Johnson
DirectorWhat Are Your Overall Career Goals?

Dare to think that your career should have a purpose.Through personal stories Karen outlines possible answers to this essential question. She’ll share some of her own struggles in her achieving goals. And through sharing her personal journey through thinking and revising her own goals – perhaps you will map out your own goals.
