Ryan Volker (Germany) was our programme chair for AutomationSTAR 2024. Together with Janna Loeffler (USA), and Geosley Andrades (India), he created and shaped our 2024 conference line-up of talks. Over 40 global test automation experts took to the stage to share their experience with our community of practitioners.

About the Event

We are looking forward to next year already. For 2025 we will be going to Amsterdam. This is not just any testing conference, it’s a conference focused fully and completely on test automation. Full stop. We are bringing test automation enthusiasts together for two event-filled days to share, learn and network.
