About Test Festival 2025

Test Festival 2025 is a vibrant, hybrid event celebrating the art and science of software testing and quality assurance. This year’s theme is: “AI, Quality, and the Future of African Tech.”

We’re exploring how AI is reshaping testing and quality assurance on the continent, and how we can ensure innovation stays secure, ethical, and scalable.

The festival runs from 8th to 13th September 2025, combining virtual and in-person experiences to connect QA professionals and enthusiasts worldwide.

Speakers are invited to apply to present either:

  • Virtually, during online sessions held 8th to 12th September, or
  • In-person, at the main event in Lagos, Nigeria on 13th September.

We welcome topics for all skill levels — from beginner to expert — across any area related to quality assurance, software testing, automation, DevOps, tech policy, and more.

Whether you want to share your insights on stage or from your own corner of the world, this is your chance to be part of a growing, engaged QA community.
