This is the second Future of Testing event Applitools has hosted this year.

In May 2020, an invite-only private event was held with 300 engineers. "Based on the success of this event and the amazing feedback from attendees, we decided to organize a second event with free, open access to everyone in the global engineering community," said Moshe Milman, co-founder and COO of Applitools.

To learn first-hand what this event is like, feel free to view a series of 2-minute videos from the previous Future of Testing virtual event, held in May 2020. Visit (https://info.applitools.com/uINp) to experience highlights from talks by Angie Jones (Applitools & TAU), Abel Wang (Microsoft), and Bijoya Chatterjee & Shantanu Prasade (Sony PlayStation).

The event will be hosted by Joe Colantonio, Founder of TestGuild, and available for live stream viewing on multiple platforms.

Unlike other virtual events that simply move the offline event to a series of pre-recorded presentations -- all talks on Future of Testing are presented 100% live, and are highly interactive via polls, live Q-and-A, and chat, which facilitate learning and discussion among the quality engineering community.

"Applitools is truly committed to promoting excellence in the global engineering community," said Joe Colantonio. "Expanding on their industry leadership role with initiatives such as Test Automation University and the Visual AI Hackathons, they are now adding Future of Testing Virtual Events to the mix. It's an incredible event with amazing sessions by leading industry experts, which I am proud to be a part of and host -- please join us!"
