Support the PNSQC Community
For more than 40 years, PNSQC has brought together experts, practitioners, leaders, students, and innovators to share knowledge and advance the practice of software quality. We are a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Everything we do is focused on education, community, and the advancement of quality.
Help Us Do More for Our Speakers
Most conferences ask speakers to pay their own way. PNSQC has been giving a $250 travel stipend to its speakers because we believe people who share their knowledge with the community shouldn't have to bear the full cost of doing so.
Our goal is to increase that support from $250 to $500 per speaker. That takes approximately $7,500 in additional funding.
If PNSQC has helped you learn, grow, build connections, or advance your career, please consider helping us support the people who make that possible.
Why It Matters
Speaking at a conference takes real commitment. Preparing a paper, building a presentation, traveling, and spending days away from work and family all cost something. The practitioners who share their experiences at PNSQC do it because they believe in helping others learn from real successes, failures, and lessons from the field.
In fact, several speakers in recent years have voluntarily declined their stipend and donated it back to PNSQC to support future presenters. That spirit of paying it forward is part of what makes this community what it is.
We have also held conference registration fees flat for five years because we believe cost shouldn't be the reason someone misses the opportunity to participate.
