About us

Finland needs some meetup action in the QA and software testing professional community! We want to resurrect the meetup culture, share knowledge, increase skills and promote the QA -field as a whole. We'll organize meetups with different themes, bring new and exciting ideas into light so the participants can stay on top of the game in their professional lives. We want people to see each other in person as well as remotely, and this meeting of new people is also one of the reasons we started the group. Join the fun and be active!

We, FTMG organizers, promote voluntary, non-profit sharing of knowledge, learning and networking without any kind of discrimination. We do not support or encourage any kind of recruitment ads in our discussion groups even if some parties do this without our approval.

Oscar's presentation
Title: Become the speaker every tech conference wants in the line up
Abstract: Do you want to speak in the best tech events of your field? Are you frustrated with getting your proposals rejected?

Join Oscar Santolalla, author of Rock the Tech Stage for this talk, to get the insight you need to become the speaker every tech conference wants in the line up 🎤

Join us to learn:
• Three powerful tools to develop your own presentation toolkit, backed with success stories from the best speakers in tech
• How to remove obstacles that have stopped you from speaking in the best tech events of your field
• How to always be creating tech talks that your audience wants to hear, and that event organizers want to add to their lineup.

Essi's presentation
Title: Early Childhood Education as a Testing Environment for Robotics
Abstract: What happens when an early childhood education teacher teams up with a social robot called Buddy? How does early childhood education work as a testing environment for new learning activities? And how do we take the first steps toward using new technology in early childhood education?

This talk explores the importance of understanding the user group, being willing to learn together, and accepting that when testing new learning materials in a real environment, surprises are not only possible, but inevitable and welcome.

Warmly welcoming you all,
Brgds FTMG organizers;
Nina, Szilard, Jani, Jamina and Mikko
