“Companies often waste time solving challenges other industries have already cracked,” says Jānis Tipainis, Head of Marketing at TestDevLab. “Quality Forge brings quality leaders together for cross-industry experience sharing. What sets us apart is that you actually get to talk with the speakers – ask them the questions that keep you up at night, get practical advice you can use the next day. That’s surprisingly rare at conferences these days. Last year’s speakers from various startups and Fortune 500 companies exemplified cross-industry exchange, with their insights shaping this year’s expanded program.”
