"The end of an era"
In the wake of the closure of Women Who CODE, we at PNSQC are deeply saddened by the loss and the underlying lack of support for women in the tech industry. It's disheartening to see initiatives aimed at empowering diverse women in technology careers deemed as "frivolous" due to funding constraints. Despite progress, women still remain vastly underrepresented in the technical workforce.
At PNSQC, we believe that women deserve equal opportunities in the tech sector, recognize the invaluable contributions of women, and are committed to fostering an inclusive community where they feel empowered and supported.
The 41st PNSQC Award Winners, Keynotes +
WOW!! Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) hosted its 41st Conference and what a grand success it was.
It showcased 4 Keynotes, 31 technical papers by practitioners, 4 panel discussions, and 8 half-day workshops along with other activities. The conference moved to a new venue that offered ample networking and a feel of downtown Portland. It was a lot of fun.
Thanks again to our fabulous sponsors, dedicated Paper Reviewers, Volunteers, attendees, and Board Members for making the Pacific NW Software Quality Conference so great.

Keynotes, Invited Speakers, Presentations and Events
The conference always has a variety of industry-recognized keynote speakers, invited speakers, and panel discussions on key topics of today and tomorrow. There will also be lightning sessions, workshops, and social events. Interesting Conference Papers, Presentations, and Posters will provide new ideas and insights that can be applied upon returning to work. The conference is also complemented by a full day of workshops, allowing a deep dive into topical and interesting subjects. Look for more details to unfold over the next few months while the conference agenda is finalized.
The Program Committee is putting a lot of energy and enthusiasm into the tracks this year. Having more speakers and shorter breaks was a popular change for last year that will be carried forward this year. The tracks cover a wide range of topics designed to interest managers, developers, testers, and other engineering professionals.
