THE MIDWEST'S LARGEST
SOFTWARE QUALITY
CONFERENCE

June 12, 2026
The Ohio Union
Columbus, OH

CALL FOR SPEAKERS

Deadline: March 15, 2026

Never spoken at a conference before? Start here. This community is welcoming, supportive, and eager to hear your story. Experienced speakers we'd love to have you back, too. Real experiences and honest insights—we're here to learn from each other.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Learn From Experts Solving Real Problems

Learn From Experts Solving Real Problems

Our speakers are practitioners—QA leads debugging production issues, SDETs refactoring test suites, engineering managers building quality cultures, industry experts sharing hard-won insights, and all of them sharing what actually worked (and what spectacularly didn't) on stage. Every session focuses on real experiences and practical lessons you can actually apply.

Breakthroughs Come From Conversations And Connections

Breakthroughs Come From Conversations And Connections

This isn't a conference where you sit and listen for eight hours. It's where you meet the tester two rows over who solved the exact problem you're facing. It's where a casual hallway conversation turns into a mentorship that lasts years. It's where you realize you're not the only one wrestling with flaky tests, shifting requirements, or that one vendor integration that makes no sense.

Ideas You Can Use Next Week

Ideas You Can Use Next Week

You'll leave with ideas you can use next week. We focus on the practical; how teams are really using AI in testing, what collaboration between QA and dev actually looks like when it works, and how to grow your skills no matter where you are in your career. Whether you're writing your first test script or leading a quality organization, there's something here that will make your work better.

A Community Beyond the Event

A Community Beyond the Event

You'll be part of a community that lasts beyond the event. COSQAM has been connecting Columbus-area testers for years through meetups, mentorship, and genuine friendships across companies. QA or the Highway is that community at its best—open, inclusive, and built on the belief that everyone has something to teach and something to learn.

And Honestly? It's Just A Great Day

And Honestly? It's Just A Great Day

Great conversations. Smart people who get what you do. Coffee. More coffee. And snacks. The kind of welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere where you can ask the questions you've been afraid to ask. The kind of day you'll tell your team about on Monday.
