The BCS Software Testing Specialist Group ‘SIGiST’ conferences aim to bring you; high quality speakers of real value from around the world, vendor stands, a friendly environment to network with the best-known community of fellow testers as well as a chance to meet old and make new friends.

The aim of this programme is to cover as many of the highest rated topics from our recent member survey, and with some top-rated speakers.

Comparing the programme and the survey results, we are covering all eight of the top-rated topics (impressive as there are only six talks!) – some in more depth than others.

Speakers for the day: 

• Geoff Thompson, UK Director of Testing Services for Planit Testing, part of the global Planit Testing group.
• Dot Graham, Independent Consultant, has been in software testing for over 40 years, and is co-author of 4 books.
• Graham Thomas, Independent Consultant, currently working in two key areas of software testing; program test management and testing change & transformation.
• Stuart Reid, STA Consulting, a software testing consultant with over 35 years’ experience in the IT industry, working in development, testing and education.
• Declan O’Riordan, NCSC certified Security & Information Risk Advisor.
• Isabel Evans, Independent Consultant, more than thirty years of IT experience in the financial, communications, and software sectors.

All conferences offer tea/coffee at registration, mid-morning and afternoon and a first-class buffet lunch.
