Auckland Testers Special: Michael Bolton is Back in Town!
Details
️Wednesday, 4th March
Doors open at 5:00 PM
Hosted by Auror (thank you for welcoming us into your space!)
Food & drinks sponsored by TTC Global
Michael Bolton is back in Auckland — and we’re bringing the testing community together for another special night of ideas, conversation, and connection.
Join us for an evening with one of the most influential voices in software testing. Michael has helped shape how modern testers think about quality, value, and the role of skilled human investigation in an increasingly automated and AI-augmented world.
This won’t be a lecture.
It’s a chance to engage, ask questions, challenge thinking, and reconnect as a community.
Whether you’re a tester, developer, leader, or simply testing-curious — this is a rare opportunity to:
✨ Hear fresh insights and sharp perspectives
✨ Reflect on the real meaning of quality in today’s landscape
✨ Ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask
✨ Catch up with the Auckland testing community
Let’s give Michael a warm welcome back and make it another memorable night!
