***🚨 Save The Date: The next Big Tech Debate – 12th June! 🚨***

In partnership with Counter & MRJ Recruitment, we’re thrilled to unveil the date of our next event PLUS our first motion and speakers:

Motion 1: Modernisation is overrated – legacy applications still deliver.

The brilliant [Anna Rebecca Aitchison](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-aitchison/), Senior System Engineer at [Ticketline](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ticketline/), will be arguing FOR and making the case for legacy.

On the opposition we have [Jacob Clark](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imjacobclark/), Director of Engineering at [Hyperact](https://www.linkedin.com/company/hyperact/), who’ll be arguing against the motion and in defence of modernisation.

Motion 2: AI adoption is driven by greed and fear - and is destroying quality.

Speakers to be announced soon!!

***Want in on the debate, great networking, and delicious Double Zero pizza?***

🧪 **mcr.test** is back. And the next chapter starts here.

After a great run in 2024 and an even better start to 2025 with our Security Edition at MONY Group, we’re excited to reveal that the next event is officially locked in.

📍 Matillion \| Two\, New Bailey St\, Stanley St\, Salford M3 5GS
📅 Thursday 19th June
🕔 17:30 till 20:30

This time, we’re diving into Performance Testing — a vital but often overlooked piece of the testing puzzle 🧩

As always, we’re not just doing another meetup. Expect hands-on activities. A break from the usual format. And a space built for genuine connection & networking.

🔍 What’s happening?

We’re rolling out a three-part experience:

**1) Theorycrafting**

Kick things off by dissecting an architecture diagram to identify potential bottlenecks and design a performance test plan to challenge them.

**2) Hands-On Practical (LAPTOPS NEEDED)**

Get stuck in with two interactive sessions:

* A front-end performance follow-along
* A mini load test creation using K6 (with other tool options available if you prefer)

**3) Performance Pub Quiz**

It’s summer, so we’re bringing the fun. Think 3-4 quiz rounds covering performance testing fundamentals... with a surprise music round to close.

We’re keeping a few things under wraps — but if you’ve been before, you’ll know to expect something a little different.

If you haven’t joined us yet… well, there’s no better time to jump in.

🎟️ Spaces are limited — first come, first served.

**Sign up now to secure your place.**

More details dropping soon...
