SoCraTes — the Software Craft and Testing Conference — is about the sustainable creation of useful software in a responsible way.



👩💻👨💻 It's about People

Everyone who is concerned with coding, testing, code quality, software craft, if

— you are passionate about software development and testing

— you have heard of Software Craft or even are already part of the growing community

— you want to share your knowledge, experience and expertise



🤝🌟 It's about Action

The event is run as a non-profit, low-cost event. It is a joint-effort of all Softwerkskammer groups, the community of all German-speaking Software Craft groups. It will be much like a retreat. We will be there for 48 hours to collaborate and share ideas. There will be:



— Highly collaborative interactions

— A self-organised Open Space, with

— hands-on coding sessions

— sessions focused on discussion

— interactive talks

— lots more



🎉😄 It's about Fun

We will not only spend the days together but also the nights. And – believe it or not – programmers and testers are great company! There will be lots of opportunities to have fun; starting with simple chit-chat about hiking, to playing board games, dancing and any activity you can think of.



🌍🗣️ International & Inclusive

SoCraTes is an international conference, and the conference's language is English. We cordially ask you to keep all conversations in English, even for colloquial discussions.
