Recently a thread started at twitter originating with this tweet:
Only I find it weird that programmers have their own conferences and testers their own conferences again?— Adrian Bolboaca (@adibolb) 14. Mai 2017
What then happened were developers asking for testers to join their conferences and vice versa.
We then started gathering developer conferences and testing conferences, which actively want both disciplines mingling. On some of these testing conferences I personally met developers, some are completely built around people meeting, some state they want everybody to join them on their web page.
As twitter is a fleeting medium I want to use this blog post to collect these conferences. I will state which conference it is, where and when it takes place and if it is a developer or tester conference. This turns out to be pretty easy to guess since testing conferences love to put the word “test” in their name.
I want this list to grow so please DM me on twitter, write me a mail or leave a comment so I can curate and update. I am eager to get this blog post out before the energy to do so leaves me so I will start with the mentioned conferences on the twitter thread and over time research more, e.g. by crawling through the respective web pages for partnering conferences. I will also try my best to keep conference dates and places updated in the future, and the table below will hopefully become less ugly, too.
Wish me luck.
Oh, and if you are a UX designer, requirements engineer, product manager or something completely else and think: “Hey, why don’t you want to meet me? I want developers and testers on my conference, too!” Then also contact me, I will add you here. I will add anyone, who wants to help all disciplines mingling more.
Here is the list:

I hope a lot of you people start going to the "other" conferences now. If not we have to take extreme measures:
@alastairs @Marcel_Gehlen @TheTestDoctor @adibolb @SamirTalwar @w3ltraumpirat @EuroTestingConf @SoCraTes_Conf @ministryoftest @AgileTD @RomaniaTesting Maybe we should market it as different conferences to testers and devs and then SURPRISE! It's the same conference!!— Johannes Seitz 👨💻 (@Ookami86) 15. Mai 2017
