Calling for Diversity - Tickets for the German Testing Day

The German Testing Day 2019 will take place on June 7th in Frankfurt am Main, preceded by a pre-conference event with workshops the day before. Check out the awesome complete conference program or the one filtered for English talks.

This year I have the honor of giving the opening keynote, and by doing so I have the following conference tickets to give away:

• two tickets including travel assistance, and
• one ticket without travel assistance.

These tickets are intended to increase the diversity of the German Testing Day and to enable people to attend the event who would not be able to come without support. Following Cassandra H. Leung’s great example, here’s how it goes.

How to Apply

Simply let us know why you’d like to attend the German Testing Day this year but cannot come on your own. Maybe you are just starting your career in software testing. Maybe you don’t receive financial support from your employer. Whatever it is, tell us your story!

Please send an email to info[at]germantestingday.info with the subject “GTD 2019 DIVERSITY”.

We are accepting applications from today, Friday, April 12th, until 15:00 CEST on Sunday, May 5th - so go for it and send it in now!

The lucky ones will be contacted shortly after the submission deadline. We’re looking forward to reading your stories. Good luck!
