Test Up North #1
Join us in Leeds on Thursday 25th September 2025 at Test Up North #, a new software testing mini-conference, for a full day of learning, sharing and socialising.
You’ll learn about new testing technology and industry trends, hear real stories of problems and solutions from professionals, give your views on topics as part of our group discussions, and even play some games. Plus, there will be loads of time to get to know other members of the testing community.
A wide range of sessions throughout the day include topics such as accessibility and mobile testing through to AI ethics and performance testing.
The day
Test Up North #1 is a full-day event with arrival from 9:15, finishing around 16:30. There will be plenty of breaks, a buffet lunch and refreshments provided throughout the day. The event will be followed by the Ministry of Testing Leeds in the evening for those who wish to attend both.
Who is it for?
Although it’s a testing-focused event, it’s open to anyone working in or around the software development lifecycle with at least basic testing and technical knowledge. It’s a perfect event for those who want to build on their existing knowledge and experience of testing, who want to come away with practical examples and information that they can use in their role.
See more information about the event on the Test Up North website.
