"Usually I hate going to conferences on the topic of testing and quality assurance (they can be so boring when under-qualified, over-hyped, or overly-academic people get up to speak). However, I recently returned from the Practical Software QualityTechniques (PSQT) conference in Bloomington, Minnesota, held in conjunction with the PSTT conference (where T=Testing replaces Q=Quality). And, I am even more happy to say, the P=Practical word in the title was particularly well chosen. Presentations were by "been there, done that" kind of People."

"If you or your company is seeking to improve software quality, this conference is one you shouldn't miss. Rather than the typical "text book academic theories", they offer a program with real world practical guidance and experience from people who are actually doing testing and improving quality techniques. A good investment in your time and money to attend."
