The AutomationSTAR Call for Speakers is open until January 31st — this is your invitation to submit to speak, and share your story on stage.

This year’s conference takes place in Vienna, 9–10 October. We are looking for test automation engineers, developers, architects, QA, and team leaders to take to the AutomationSTAR stage, and share your experiences with an incredible audience: a community keen to learn & improve their own projects.

Remember, this is not a general testing conference; it is completely focused on test automation. Nobody is doing test automation exactly the way you are, so share your own personal journey. How will you create engaging discussions, facilitate active learning, and inspire others? Your knowledge can make a big impact.

It’s Europe’s biggest test automation event

Last year’s conference was bigger than we ever anticipated, with over 450 attendees from all around Europe coming together for two days totally dedicated to all things test automation. We’re scaling up even more for 2024, with more learnings, more networking opportunities, and even more fun!

The programme team, chaired by Ryan Volker (Germany); along with Janna Loeffler (USA), Geosley Andrades (India) will dedicate their time to creating a truly epic line-up of speakers for the programme. Check off your goal of speaking at a conference by being part of the biggest test automation event in Europe.

Submission types

Here’s what the programme team is looking for:

Half-Day Tutorials: 3 hour expert masterclasses. Popular tutorials can be large (possibly up to 100 people). Exercises need to be easy to explain, understand and perform to be practical.

Workshops are 90-minute sessions. We prefer sessions that engage the class and have substantial workshop or hands-on content. These sessions are intended to be educational and experiential.

Track Talks are 45-minute sessions with 30 minutes of presentation/talk, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A and audience discussion

All submissions should be relevant to test automation in software development and testing. Our attendees have requested more technical content, so this is a key focus for 2024. Check out all the details for the Call for Speakers and see what topics will help you form a great submission.
