GTAC 2016 Registration is now open!

by Sonal Shah on behalf of the GTAC Committee

The GTAC (Google Test Automation Conference) 2016 application process is now open for presentation proposals and attendance. GTAC will be held at the Google Sunnyvale office on November 15th - 16th, 2016.

GTAC will be streamed live on YouTube again this year, so even if you cannot attend in person, you will be able to watch the conference remotely. We will post the livestream information as we get closer to the event, and recordings will be posted afterwards.

Speakers
Presentations are targeted at students, academics, and experienced engineers working on test automation. Full presentations are 30 minutes and lightning talks are 10 minutes. Speakers should be prepared for a question and answer session following their presentation.

Application
For presentation proposals and/or attendance, complete this form. We will be selecting about 25 talks and 300 attendees for the event. The selection process is not first come first serve (no need to rush your application), and we select a diverse group of engineers from various locations, company sizes, and technical backgrounds.

Deadline
The due date for both presentation and attendance applications is June 1st, 2016.

Cost
There are no registration fees, but speakers and attendees must arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodations.

June 1, 2016 - Registration closes for speaker and attendee submissions.
June 30, 2016 - Selected attendees will be notified.
August 15, 2016 - Selected speakers will be notified.
November 14, 2016 - Rehearsal day for speakers.
