ISTQB® Conference Network

Find an event or join the ISTQB® Conference Network.

The ISTQB® Conference Network brings together conference organizers and testing communities, both local and global.

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.

Conference Network organizers can 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.

Join the Conference Network as an event organizer

The following apply to all ISTQB® Conference Network events:


Recognition is based on the following criteria:

  • The conference or event is in the area of quality assurance and/or software testing.
  • For the ISTQB® Academia Conference Network the conference must also include a scientific, academic or pedagogic specialization.
  • The selection of conference presentations is performed via an independent process. As an example, via a public “call for papers”.
  • The program includes at least one official ISTQB® presentation which includes a comprehensive overview of ISTQB® and its product portfolio (this could be using the slides that will be provided as part of the ISTQB® Conference Network Package). If possible this should be made by an ISTQB® representative or ISTQB® Member Board representative.
  • The conference or event offers a discount on fees to ISTQB® certificate holders. The discount should be clearly visible on the conference website.
  • The conference offers a discount to employees of organizations who are ISTQB® Partner Program members.  The discount should be clearly visible on the conference website. (Discounts could be tiered for Silver, Gold, Platinum, Global Partner Program membership).
  • The conference will include the official ISTQB® Conference Network logo on the conference website/registration pages and where possible in its marketing activities (e.g. social media).
  • The conference organizers commit to sending ISTQB® Conference Network a list of top 3 speakers/topics after the conference.
  • The conference and its organizer(s) agree that ISTQB® can at its sole discretion restrict admittance to or withdraw participation in the ISTQB® Conference Network without penalty or liability should the conference, its organizers, or its sponsors not align in ISTQB’s view to the overall ISTQB® vision, mission, values and status as a not for profit organization registered in the EU or where the conference conflicts with the status of the local Member Board. The conference and its organizer(s) accept that membership of the ISTQB® Conference Network does not give any guarantees or warranty from ISTQB® in respect to conference attendance or income.

Recommendation:

  • The conference or event is organized or recognized by an ISTQB® Member Board, ISTQB® Academia Working Group or by the ISTQB® Marketing Working Group.
  • The local ISTQB® Member Board will be approached to offer the possibility of a conference presence (e.g. a stand).

The ISTQB® reserves the right to review these rules at any time.

The ISTQB® Conference Network will support your event with promotional activities:

  • Post details about the event on the ISTQB® website
  • Post news about the event on the ISTQB® social media channels before and after the event, provided that the organizer sends us the material (pictures/videos)
  • Provide ISTQB® Conference Network Package including authorization to use the official ISTQB® International Conference Network logo in order to build visual identification
