**Welcome to the third Finnish Game Industry QA Meetup!** We will be kicking off the meetups for 2026 with the theme “Automation in QA (Mobile Edition)”. Since automation is such a large discipline by itself, we decided to split it into multiple different areas. For this event we have chosen "mobile" as the focus point. Once again, we welcome everyone interested in the quality assurance in game industry to our event, whether you are a seasoned industry veteran or someone taking their first steps into QA. We highly encourage all our attendees to being active during the presentations and share knowledge with each other during mingling. **Host** This meetup will be hosted by [Rovio](https://www.rovio.com/about/)! Your host will be [Cristian Girbea](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristian-girbea-60786160/). **Venue** Rovio Puzzle Studios, [Keilaranta 7, 02150 Espoo](https://www.google.fi/maps/place/Keilaranta+7,+02150+Espoo/@60.1766131,24.834503,17.75z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x468df58ea70c73a9:0x26bdd66ade82cca!8m2!3d60.1766278!4d24.834326!16s%2Fg%2F11xyfzq3qd?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMwNC4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) **Rovio Office Visitor Registration** Rovio's office requires a registration from all visitors.

[Henry Lunabba](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrylunabba/) from [Metacore](https://metacoregames.com/company)! **How to Start: Quick Wins in Mobile Game Automation** **Speaker:** Ru Cindrea Test automation in mobile games feels hard to start - and even harder to justify later on. This talk draws on real-world experience across multiple mobile game projects to make the case that you don't need a perfect framework, full coverage, or a dedicated automation team to get value. It shares concrete examples of what has actually worked on live games and offers a practical lens for deciding where automation is worth the investment. **Stories from the trenches: Why the best in-house test automation framework doesn’t necessarily solve all your problems** **Speaker:** Henry Lunabba Software for games is built of exactly the same components as software in banking, finance or any other tech, but there is of course some differences as well. In his talk, Henry will share his experiences and learnings from diving straight into the world of gaming QA and automated game testing, with absolutely no prior experience from game development. **We are excited to welcome you to our first meetup of 2026!** **Best Regards,** The Organizing Team

Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
