@JuttaEckstein Too bad this is clashing with Agile Testing Days Open Air :(

Jutta Eckstein

@der_pesse Yes, I saw that, too. The only good thing is that cologne and Amsterdam are quite close. So...

@JuttaEckstein Not an option for me - I'm lucky to have sessions on 2 days at ATDOA.

I'm also astonished to see that the only speaker benefit is a 50% discount on the (regular) entrance fee. Feels like pay to speak.
I get there might be reasons, but if I have the choice between events that will cover my expenses and events that want money on top of the many hours I need to prepare a stunning talk, well...

@der_pesse I understand. There are many differences between XP and other conferences. One is that more than 80% of all "attendees" are actually speakers.
