Testing peers conference
12th March 2026 | Nottingham UK

Sponsored by





Like the Testing Peers podcast, we will focus on leadership, quality and testing. It’s going to be run by the community for the community and will welcome anyone – from people new to testing and wanting to get into the field, Development, Product, Delivery or even CEO’s.
Check out this year’s programme
This year’s theme was: Context is Everything: Lessons from the Universality of Quality and Testing Across Different Industries.

Our aim is a low-cost event with a couple of tracks, largely funded through sponsorship/partners
To be upfront, we don’t commit to paying speakers for this event. We appreciate that this isn’t ideal, but we aim to be a low-cost event with few sponsors. However, in 2025, we managed to get more in sponsorship than costs so for the first time, we offered speakers a choice of a £200 payment or a donation to a charity of their choice. Any money we didn’t spend on the event in 2025 will go to sponsoring people to attend great events, charities nominated by speakers and towards 2026.
We’ll continue to look towards ways to contribute to the cost of speaking in future years, and one day soon, we hope we can commit to paying speakers.
