The seventeenth edition of QA&TEST was held in Bilbao on the 17^th, 18^th and 19^th of October. We want to thank all those who made possible this new edition of QA&TEST: attendees, incredible speakers of this edition, sponsors and supporting organizations and the team of SQS, the company that organises the event. Together you made QA&TEST 2018 a success, as you may see in the closing video of the conference.

During three days we had the opportunity to share learning and experiences through an excellent programme which gathered in Bilbao experts from international companies such as Phillips, Dutch Railways, Quality Minds, BBC, etc. A programme that reflects current industry hot topics offering us new perspectives to to solve the problems that our companies are facing nowadays: testing automation, security, how to test artificial intelligence or machine learning, new testing techniques, etc. welcoming numerous sectors such as automotive, electronics, telecommunications or medical devices among others.

QA&TEST 2018 had, in addition to training, networking as a pillar, which made our community grow even more and we had very pleasant moments in Bilbao enjoying the city and gastronomy. We also would like to highlight the very good welcome and participation of the round table where we discussed the challenges that digital transformation is imposing on Testing and Quality Assurance.
