Test Up North 2026
Join us in Leeds on Tuesday 8th September at Test Up North 2026 - a software testing 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.
The day
Test Up North 2026 is a full-day event with doors opening at 9:15 and finishing around 16:30. There will be plenty of breaks, a buffet lunch and refreshments provided throughout the day.
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, and who want to come away with practical examples and information that they can use in their role.
New venue for 2026
This year's event will be held at the Leeds Building Society Head Office in Leeds City Centre. We are delighted to have their support.
Please see more details about the location below.
