Programme Overview
     
The Software & Systems Quality Conference (SQC) is Europe’s leading international conference on software quality management and testing and process optimisation. Its continued growth since the first conference in 1996 bears testimony to the importance which IT managers and specialists attach to it, as reflected by the 800 plus delegates who attended the 2007 conference at Congress Center Düsseldorf.

From 15th to 18th April 2008, SQC will offer industry specialists a combination of presentations, keynotes and workshops covering a range of sectors, along with an exhibition. Thursday’s programme will end with an exclusive evening function in the ISS Dome Düsseldorf, which will also give delegates an opportunity to discuss their thoughts on the conference topics.

Whilst the first of the four days will be devoted to tutorials, the following three days will each offer up to six presentations and several parallel workshops, enabling delegates to put together their own programme in line with their interests.
