Interactive Sessions

Duration: 30 mins (25 mins + 5 mins of Q&A)

Do you have an innovative case study, a fascinating demonstration, or a brilliant new idea? Perhaps you have a wealth of knowledge that you feel the need to impart to others. #ATAGTR is an ideal platform for brilliant minds like yours, and our Interactive Sessions are designed for the purpose.

You will have 25 minutes to wow the attendees, and then there will be 5 minutes of Q&A. What's even better? Your session can be about any of the suggested topics or about anything else that might tickle the testing community's curiosity. Come, let's interact and inspire!

Note: Following final selection, the shortlisted #ATAGTR2023 "Speakers" will deliver their session(s) in person at the conference location, which will be held in physical mode on the 8th (Friday) and 9th (Saturday) of December 2023 in Pune.

Hands-on Workshop/ Lab

Duration - 120 mins

The key here is to actively engage attendees rather than simply demo an idea. We're looking for hands-on sessions where attendees can get their hands dirty and learn by doing. Your topic should allow them to immerse themselves in the process, whether it's a new tool, methodology, or best practise or anything relating to Technology and/or Software Testing.

So, think bold, think disruptive, think transformative! Together, let's dive in, roll up our sleeves, and explore the uncharted territories of Technology and software testing!"

Note: Hands on labs needs to be delivered in online mode. Hands-on labs will be scheduled on 2nd and 3rd December 2023. As the programme committee and in order to maintain diversity of topics on both the days, your lab session can be scheduled either on 2nd December or on 3rd December
