The ISTQB® Conference Network brings together conference organizers and testing communities, both local and global.
Conference Network organizers are able to publish details of their events and have the additional benefits of ISTQB® promotion in social media and authorization to use the official ISTQB® Conference Network logo.
For anyone considering attending a conference, there are some special benefits from events in the ISTQB® Conference Network! Not only have the events met the ISTQB® Conference Network criteria but they typically offer discounts to ISTQB® certificate holders and ISTQB® Partner Program members.

- Be focused on Testing and Quality;
- For Academia Conference Network members - have an scientific, academic or pedagogic specialization;
- Be organized or recognized by an ISTQB® Member Board, the ISTQB® Academia Working Group or by the ISTQB® Marketing Working Group
