Attendees at STPCon Fall 2015 experienced a beautiful northeast fall week complete with picturesque, colorful treed landscapes in the suburbs of Boston. 16 workshops and 40 sessions offered plenty of opportunities to learn and 4 compelling keynotes by Elfriede Dustin, Jason Huggins, James Bach and Joseph Ours motivated testers at all levels and from all corners of the world. uTest/Applause hosted a networking reception at their headquarters which was only a few blocks from the hotel.
