As the year ends, we invite you to join us for our annual festive holiday party! This informal gathering is a good opportunity to connect with other software quality professionals, share work experiences, and reflect on recent challenges and triumphs—all while looking forward to the exciting possibilities that the new year holds for QA. Whether you're a test engineer, software manager, automation expert, or just passionate about ensuring high-quality software, this event is for anyone who wants to meet local techies, as well as discuss what's on the horizon both for PNSQC and QA in general in 2026.
The agenda will include:
- Icebreaker
- PNSQC 2026 Theme
- Talk: TBA
- Events for 2026
All levels of experience are welcome, and we'll have time for networking opportunities and open-ended discussions if you have a topic to share. We look forward to celebrating with you!
We will have food and drinks for those who can attend in person (vegetarian & vegan options available).

It’s time to kick-off the 2026 Call for Papers with a Quality Jam. This will be an evening of lightning talks to inspire and be inspired for new proposals on software quality — a jam session to get together as a group and see where the "music" takes us.
Make a new year's resolution to build your career by increasing your quality know-how and skills and make some new connections with other software quality professionals.
The first hour will provide time for networking and a chance to share some food and drink.
Lineup to be announced.
The event, to be held live in Portland, Oregon will also be streamed online.
Let us know if you'd like to host a watch party in the Seattle area. Let PNSQC order your pizza.
