Conference ™ will be held November 1-3, 2005, in New York City.
The

software test and quality assurance managers, software development managers,
and other decision-makers in the software development organizations and
departments. The educational program covers software test/QA and performance
issues across the entire application life cycle, making this event appealing

Avenue and 45th Street in midtown New York City. The debut event, took place
in Baltimore from December 7-9, 2004. More than 500 software development,
test/QA and performance management professionals are expected to attend this
year's conference.
Donna Esposito, Director of Events for BZ Media, said,
"Based on positive feedback from our many conference attendees, faculty and
sponsors, we have decided to maintain the Software Test & Performance
Conference's position as the industry's flagship event in the Northeast. The
strong base of software development and large enterprise computing from New
England, New York and the Mid-Atlantic regions makes New York City the ideal
location for this year's conference."
The first day of the conference will be devoted to
hands-on, in-depth tutorials. In total, the conference will have more than
50 technical classes. The deadline for speaking proposals is May 1, 2005.
