As you have probably heard about it one of Europe's premier software testing conferences, HUSTEF Conference [https://hustef.hu/](https://hustef.hu/) and Craft Conference will be teaming up this year again and organize a joint meet-up. Craft will bring 2 of their speakers and we will take care of the rest which is a cool venue which will be "A Grund" , beers and snacks.

Our first speaker is **NIVIA HENRY who is an Engineering Director at Spotify**.

*Nivia is a technologist with over 20 years of engineering and leadership experience.*

*Her career path has included nearly every role in tech; but her true passion is inspiring people to do their best work.*
*These days Nivia applies her talents as Director of Engineering for Spotify's new music team, tasked with bringing enriching artist expression tools and experiences to Spotify.*

*Nivia gives back to the tech community by speaking at, chairing and attending tech conferences.*
*Her hobbies include: mentoring Black engineering leaders; reading; and relaxing on her farm with her hubby Andre and their feline overlord Zuko.*

She is going to run an **Ask me Anything session and here comes a few talking point ideas from her**

* The evolution of the testing & quality practice at Spotify (from the rise, to the heyday where we had dedicated SDETs & Quality Coaches, to the decline and where we are today)

* Career paths for Testing & Quality professionals (parallel of my journey from manual tester to Test Engineer to QA Manager)

* Advocating for testing & quality in a place that doesn't have dedicated roles (this because a large part of my work after those roles were eliminated and the practices distributed amongst teams)

**COLIN BRECK** \- Cloud Platforms Lead at Tesla
Kubernetes probes and what can go wrong. It is related to operating production servcies reliably.

**Lars Eckart** from Technical Coach at Rush Street Interactive
**"Approval Tests"**
*Our next speaker is Lars Eckart, Technical Coach at Rush Street Interactive. With 10 years of experience in software development, Lars has honed his skills in Test Driven Development and automated testing.*
*Lars spent 9 years as a java developer before transitioning into technical coaching, a natural next step for him after years of organizing coding dojos, trainings, and meetups alongside his regular job duties. Since May 2020, he has been remotely pair programming with Llewellyn Falco on the ApprovalTests.Java library, which is the focus of his upcoming talk.*
