Testival Meetup #64

Testival is back!

After the uncertainty of the pandemic, we are finally restarting our regular meetups.

Testival meetup is a place for testers and QA engineers to share experiences and get to know each other. For each meetup, the location changes as the main idea is to have different IT companies be the host and welcome the testing community into their offices and show them the diversity that is available,

The format is still mainly the same as previously, with a slight change this time.

The space we have is limited and there seems to be a lot of interest for attending.
So we are limiting the attendee list to 55. Please only RSVP if you plan on actually going.
