Ten-plus years later the idea is still alive because the testing world keeps iterating—and so do I. + +### Highlights from 2015 to Today + +- 182 contributors have shared updates, suggestions, fixes, and inspiration. +- Nearly 1,600 deploys have kept the listings current for conference organizers and attendees alike. +- Countless testers discovered new events, new peers, and new ideas because someone took the time to send a pull request. + +### Still Going Strong + +I pushed the (first commit)[https://github.com/TestingConferences/testingconferences.github.io/commit/1b028cfba42af75900682818914203c2f87532a4] for this project On April 16, 2015. By October I was ready for others to use it. Since then, TestingConferences.org remains a community driven, open source list of testing conferences and workshops from around the world. Whether you submitted a single typo fix or continually add new events, thank you. Your contributions help testers everywhere find spaces to learn, teach, and connect. + +Here's to the next decade of software testing conferences and workshops. If you see something missing—or want to celebrate a milestone of your own—[let us know how to contribute](/how-to-contribute/). + +Thanks again to everyone for a decade of support!
