What am I getting myself into as a sponsor?

The Atelier is hosted twice a year and is hosted at Wharf Chambers, a workers co-op in Leeds which fits our ethos. We could originally only host 80 attendees but after expanding to the second floor of Wharf Chambers we can now hold 105 attendees. We are keen to provide a safe space for all involved in testing, however they choose to express themselves.

Here at the Atelier we value speaker diversity, therefore we encourage people from different backgrounds speaking, this covers gender, ethnicity and job role. The event has a variety of talks, workshops and panels. Some of the past topics that our talks have covered are; a DBA talking about database unit testing, a tester talking about mobile automation, a recruiter on how to hire great testers, a developer teaching TDD, a build engineer on DevOps adoption, the list goes on. The Atelier is volunteer run and is a day with punk rock vibes by the community for the community.

As the event is free, we need sponsors. Email [email protected] or tweet @testing_atelier to get involved!
