#AdvenTesters
Our Test Team had a great time at #peerscon25 last week - lots of insightful talks and industry discussions!
#CPD #WeAreImosphere #MeetTheTeam #SoftwareTester @testingpeers.bsky.social
Last week I travelled to London and then to Nottingham, presenting two different talks, at #ctoCraftCon and at #peersCon25.
Both were very enjoyable, in different ways.
I have some thoughts on community coming out of this, and will try to get them into a coherent form on my blog soon.

Went to #PeersCon25 by the @testingpeers.bsky.social yesterday. Fun day, lots of familiar testing faces and plenty of new ones. Great speakers, even better conversations and frankly insane value to attend. These things always fall on a Thursday; Friday you're tired, but come Monday? The 🔥 kicks in.
Everyone at #PeersCon25 cheer extra loud for @sapphirelinda.bsky.social and her "Comedy of Errors" on now!
Wish I could be there in person, but I'm celebrating y'all in spirit ❤️✨
