Quality Jam

Join the software quality community on January 22, 2026 for the PNSQC Quality Jam, our annual lightning-talk event that officially kicks off the PNSQC Call for Papers and sets the tone for the year ahead.

A long-standing PNSQC tradition, the Quality Jam features fast-paced 8-minute talks from leaders and practitioners across software testing, quality engineering, leadership, and emerging technologies. These short, idea-driven sessions are designed to spark conversation, inspire new perspectives, and help shape future conference submissions.

This year the speaker lineup includes:

• "Testing the Future: From Testing Code to Testing Intelligence" with Premi Vinayagam  from Jama software
• "The OWASP Top 10 Isn’t a Vulnerability List—It’s a Mirror: What 2025 Tells Us About Supply Chain Security" with Caroline Wong 
• "Test Plans Made Easy: Saying a Lot By Saying Very Little" with Wayne Roseberry
• "Every Day Use of MCP" with Joseph Petsche
• "Formally Secure Hardware with Rust" with Calvin Deutschbein
• "Lessons Learned in AI Engineering" with Mitch White
• "Software Quality by Example as a Senior Engineer" with Mark Kleinhaus
• "How Product Management Supports Quality" with Justin Wolf

This event is sponsored in part by PLUS QA.  PLUS QA makes software testing simple. 

The evening begins with networking and refreshments.

This hybrid event will be held in Portland, Oregon, with a live online option available.
